The South didn't win the Civil War, but then again, the deck was stacked against us from the beginning. It was akin to playing a chess game except it was where the whites started with no queen, rooks, or bishops. Against all odds, and with practically no chance of winning from the onset, it was still close, and there's a reason (a damn good reason) for that.
People of the South don't need a fair playing field--we aren't all liberal pieces of shit. I'm talking about the kind of pieces of shit that comes straight from shitsville. Southern folk can start out disadvantaged, poor, and with no military training. The point is, for the South, it doesn't have to start out fair. With little to no money, the fight was on, and the few knights we had were as Great as the sun is blistering hot, and the pawns had grit like no other patron of battles of centuries past. It was the sheer vastness of what money could buy, not the character of northerners, that ultimately led to victory.
If Canada wanted to invade, well, first off, they would have no chance in holy hell of success, even with the assistance of foreign nations, and that's because we have a substantial number of Republicans ready, willing, and able to fight a fury like no empire of history has ever wrote about. Sure, the assistance of our northern brethren, a few scattered democrats, and the might of the arsenals amassed by the great U.S. of A. will be a substantial contribution to our success, but the inner determination of those cornbread fed in the south would be the tipping scale should things ever be so close again.
I'm not disillusioned. I know I couldn't take on an army singlehandedly; hell, I couldn't win against an invading police force, but just as assuredly as I could take out more of them than them of I should they attack, I could more than one-up anyone who supported housing a couple hundred of their troops trying to take the US out.
