If You Think Imperialism Can't Work…

The Yankee occupation of Dixie was classic imperialism. Capitalist civilization went forth and crushed a world view opposed to tolerance and free speech (e.g., the “gag” rule). The d@mn Yankees used state terrorism (Sherman's march to the sea), which set off a “cycle of violence” in the form of the KKK and Jesse James (who started out as a pro-slavery terrorist). There were even Yankee settlements on Dixie soil. Dubya himself is a second-generation settler.
