Talk:Confederate States of America

Connection of Reagan with 1968

Yes, I am aware that Reagan was actually elected in 1980, but it was the Southern Strategy that made his victory and re-election possible, not just Carter's incompetence. It is my contention, in fact, that a Sixth Party System came into existence at that time, although its full implications would not become clear until 1980. That became the strategy of the GOP as a result of the 1968 election.

The names Reagan or Goldwater have no place on this page. RobS 18:10, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, we tend to appreciate conciseness, and the implications on politics a whole century later take us too far afield. DanH 18:14, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

This article is far too sympathetic toward the Confederacy for my tastes. This was a group who were acting in rebellion against the government of the United States. They were exemplifying the definition of treason as found in the U.S. Constitution, namely "...waging war against [the United States]" I feel like the article should make more mention of the whole "treason" and "rebellion" aspect of things but any such edits I make will most likely be removed.--Patthew 22:32, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
