Governor Moonbeam's plan to spread aids around
#17
As an aside, though this is off-topic (but it's a terrible topic anyway so I don't care; tell the moderator if you're concerned and he can break it off), I have often wondered what might have happened if the South had been allowed to secede in 1861. I concluded there probably would have been a war anyway, because of clashes over fugitive slaves along the border. Also, I don't think it was ever resolved which country Kansas and other western states would have been in, so clashes there might have resumed as well. Fights over western territory might have happened. Perhaps eventually the South would have rejoined the Union, having seen the error of its ways and endured the failure of its "way of life." Another factor is that the grey states (now the red states) could not hold themselves together; the Confederacy was already disintegrating.

even today, the "southern way of life" doesn't work too well
