Don't forget to anger the south, the slaves
there were posetions. (SP?) Slavery and the
ultimate freeing of the slaves were just minor

who doesn't support the lego/Civil war issue
because of racial issues to sit down with
one of the millions of internationally
published books on the subject and read
about the contriuting factors of the war.
