What if the South had won the Civil War ?

@cherokeepatti Indeedy!

@Nimbus We secretly lost a lot of our power as a nation and most never realized it.

@cherokeepatti That's sad :(

@Nimbus They say that the Federal Income Taxes we have been paying for over a century weren’t even used for American infrastructure etc. Before we didn’t need an income tax to pay for things that needed it. The money came from import taxes on goods that were shipped here.

@cherokeepatti Not to mention it resulted in the 14th amendment, ratified in 1868, which essentially neutered the 9th and 10th amendments, which those two guaranteed the states had more power over the federal government, the 14th gave more power of the federal government over the states, i.e. Cannabis laws.
