*Is listening to song as a piece of southern heritage and beautiful music* 1:21 pops up.

This is why we can't have nice things!

@RonPaulHatesBlacks You do realize many Southerners joined the Confederacy when Lincoln called for 80,000 volunteers, right? The Yanks came to kill Southerners. The South was trying to avoid war with the most powerful nation on earth. And now, look at you, you're resorting to hate and profanity.

@RebelSoldat1 protected routes to the Orient that allowed it to gain even more riches, Britain had such a incredible navy that they could easily have blocked any American port and strangled it into submission. Simply put, The U.S became one of the top powers after WWI and it became the strongest nation after WWII for those reasons you mentioned. America did become the greatest great power, but not in the 1860s.

@RebelSoldat1 Production-wise your correct, the Northern United States was a incredible production power. However there are many forms of power and having massive production and a lot of men doesn't make the United States the strongest power. British power was far from diminishing in the American Civil War, Pax Britannica didn't end until 1914, which is considered the end of Britain's domination.

@WesternWarrior93 On your comment about any euro country supporting the south, Britons did send ships to the south, but the north cut them off

I only disliked this because of 1:21 and 2:51

@Moerdarvalen The British empire was in decline. They won the Zulu wars, but not before they had their asses handed to them by "savages." If you measure power by production capabilities, the U.S. would have exceeded the British on terms of power. Take for instance, the French during WW2. They had the largest standing army in the world, yet even with the aid of the British, their home country was occupied at the very beginning of the war, by pathetic little Germany.

@RebelSoldat1 "the most powerful nation on earth" HAHA, in the 19th century? Are you serious or just retarded? Britain was still the superpower/hyper-power. It's like comparing USA today with some African country.
