Check how many manufacturing plants (automotive/DOD/Aerospace etc) and US jobs are being opened/created in the Northeast vs how many have been lost over the last 15 years.
Then, check how many have been created in the Southeast (Tenn, Carolinas) over the same timeframe...
Then post up a retraction.... As to 100 year old Universities, that adds little or nothing to the US economy IMO
There was a manufacturing job shift over the past 20 years form the North to the south and that is now going from the south to China. The overseas shift has been much faster though.
True.
Your Universities comment is compeltely wrong.

Only simple minded misfits beleive the Civil war was about slavery... they tell that to liberals and simple minded blacks to make them feel better.
Most intelligent people of every race know it really had nothing to do with slavery.
Lincoln only made that an issue a little later in the war to garner the support of the liberal idiots in the North.
If it were about slavery why didnt he just outlaw the TRADE of slave and NOT the ownership.. then buy ALL the slave for a FRACTION of the cost of the war and free them??/
The southerners would have saw them as LEGALLY freed (according to the laws of the south) and southern resentment towards blacks would have dwindled MUCH faster.

The civil war was about regaining FEDERAL control of Southern states who generally maintained much more independent governers and leaders than the North.
The south paid a HEAVY price for the war and their "defiance". Lincoln punished them severly.
The average southern had an income of roughly 80% of his northern counterpart before the civil war.. AFTER the war.. it dropped to 40%.
It wasnt until 1960 that it finally reached 80%.. 100 years of financial punishment!! that doesnt even take into account that much of the south and its provate porperty was destroyed.
the South, according to the constitution at that time had EVERY RIGHT to secede. Like it or not .. in 1860 the SOUTH was right. The North and the murderer Lincoln were wrong. Slavery as an institution is wrong but they were better ways to go about abolishing it than to use it as an excuse to prolong a war.
Mass centralization of the federeal governments powers started with the civil war and things have gone downhill ever since.
