A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.
Was it really? I was under the impression that they mostly were agricultural, while the north had all the light and heavy industries… (sorry, I’m not american)
You are correct. It heavily contributed to their loss. Without international support, or the industries to leverage that support they were isolated, poor and out of manpower.
If Union leadership was better in the beginning we would have seen them rolled much faster.
This was RIGHT before the industrial revolution in America. The timing of industrialization going north because the south was utterly burned to the ground was a massive shock that is still felt today. They couldn’t switch to industrialization in time
Which is exactly why they would burn it to the ground. The federal government would never let California, let alone any state, secede peacfully. They can’t risk losing those resources and would destroy them before allowing them to be competition.
Do that to CA and you’re shooting yourself in the foot as the US
Destroying your most important ports and where more than 50% of your agriculture nationwide comes from is not a good idea
Absolutely nobody can accuse the right of being smart
The South was an economic powerhouse prior to the civil war. Didn’t stop the government.

A huge reason the south lost was because they were NOT an economic powerhouse…
Much like today.

CA is already burning due to mismanagement. So…
TIL wind=mismanagement
Climate change = mismanagement on the part of pretty much the whole world. So technically correct.
Question: what things were done in the 80’s to prep for wildfires? Do they do any of those things today?
So you don’t actually know what you’re talking about and yet you commented anyway?
I was alive in the 80s, I definitely know what I’m talking about. If you can’t answer the question though, then you obviously do not.

You’re still not listing any of the things. One thing??
You know what didn’t happen? Firefighters not showing up. Water not in hydrants. Shrubbery left alone so kindling builds up.
Lots of things were done different that tech has never made better.
Also, I’m not a conservative, I’m a liberal constitutionalist.
