It primarily ended declared voluntary secession (triggered by threat of unpalatable legislation, from a contract that had no penalty on exit terms) and its subsequent process of expelling the thenforth foreign government from the South... of course ensuring continuing revenues and access to resources, production, infrastructure, sheeple, etc at cost. By that time ending slavery came for the ride as required moral bonus were they to retain the South (along with all the other issues), and as strategic move to destabilize related slave trade value to the South, and raise internal question / revolt in the South, during the war. Something like that. Similarly, if California declares secession nullifying the former federal presence, it won't be to end gay sex, abortion, and weed that the East goes to war over... though for some select demographics in the East that might be a wished for bonus. Of course the East might skip that bloody battle knowing that it has a Trump up its sleeve who will negotiate the best trade deals favoring the East with its new Western trade partner. > Violence created the so called "land of the free" =) Sad. Apparently there's some new free land and resources being created in Syria by a few outside competitors. Only a few uncooperative Indians there, but they don't have any rights in competitors system so it's ok right. > Sometimes it's the solution. These 'protesters' have plenty of non violent options left. Instead of thuggery upon those who have not laid fist to them first (which only spawns mass turnout against them) they should be out organizing a political response of their own. Such as how they're going to vote, censure, recall, impeach or otherwise get Trump out if he really starts fucking things up.
