    Without industrializing the North could have lost the war to the South as they would have been more evenly matched. The North needed to win the political battle, the war, and then after the war, the culture war. They won the first two, but we are still fighting the culture war.

      For sure. I would say that we definitely lost the last one. We fucked up restoration, and haven’t recovered.
