Because you are spouting a very skewed view of history as told by white supremacists and southern sympathizers. Your very usage of the term "War of Northern Aggression" indicates you have accepted a severely biased version of the events surrounding the Civil War. The version you have accepted is the very propaganda that you accuse others, including myself, of believing.
Here, start with this: The Declaration of Causes of Secession.
I'm looking for details, all I am seeing at the moment is yankee arrogance...not the same thing i reckon...

I'll see what it say's i am suspicious of it tho....
Let me stop you right there. Yes, the war WAS illegal. And the South started the war, not the North.
No, the north refused to abandon a military base in southern territory, they were instigating the war, the south had no choice but to eventually force the yankees out of the military base.

It wasn't "southern territory". If someone declared that they now owned your front porch, and they demanded you leave it and you didn't, does that give them the right to take "their" newly claimed property? Such was the situation of Fort Sumter, which was actually the property of the U.S. Army. The newly formed Confederacy demanded they leave, when they had no authority to do so, and attempted to take the fort by force.
The South seceded from the US. They were in open rebellion. They attacked a Federal installation. If that doesn't mean starting a war, i don't know what does.
From lemonade stands to the War of Northern Aggression in one page. Ninjacore is covering all the greatest hits in her provoking fights tour. Next up: Abortion and circumcision.
I think at least a cop who doesn't have anything better to do should at least talk to the kids to check out if it's on the up-and-up, to make sure they're not getting up to shits and giggles and selling "lemonade" which is really some home brew designed to make people retch (teens are jerk asses like that). Just making sure? Ok. A big court affair? No.
Well it is almost time for the yearly circumcision thread ...
Miraculously, the thread gave her lemonade and she made sour lemons.
Everyone gets at least one. We're out of flags.
Maybe I am letting my dislike of children seep in a little, but I don't think I would trust any lemonade bought from a kids stand. Not unless it was tested for urine first.
I never operated a lemonade stand, nor did I buy from one. I don't like lemonade anyway.
I did play the Apple // computer game 'Lemonade' quite voraciously though.

You know what's fun when you're a kid? Operating a beer stand. You can make a shitload of money that way. The great part is that since you're a minor, you can't get arrested, and maybe, if they're corrupt enough, you can pay off the cops in free beer!
Why would anyone do that? That stuff is rather expensive, isn't it?
Blacks were NEVER considered "three-fifths of a person."
The Constitution originally provided for counting three-fifths of the TOTAL NUMBER of slaves (not all blacks were slaves). The famous "three-fifths compromise" was about representation in Congress, not about the relative value of one human life vs. another.
You're Canadian, right? Well, every real American likes lemonade. You probably drink vodka. With fluoride in it!

While I slipped on the letter, I'm still correct in the spirit of it. A black man was not equal to a white man, otherwise there would have been no need for a "compromise".
As someone who grew up in and currently lives in the South, let me just say. (Towards Ninjacore's posts, of course.)
