The South has risen,...

[Macamus Prime]

OK - the South has risen again; what now?

Your local police forces should be able to handle day to day law and order.

The local military bases are the wild card - the United States may take back whatever is in them. Some equipment may just not make it back into the hands of the United States. Either way, you need to restructure your military; how do you pull that off? You have the personnel with excellent training and experience, but, some may just uproot and head north. Some will indeed stay.

Illegal's - do you transport them back to the borders? Do you lock them up? Initially, you won't really have the manpower to flush them all out. What is the ultimate goal and how do you transition to said ultimate goal?

Slavery - will you allow it? What other things will/won't you allow?

Will you redraft deals and policies with foreign nations?

I would imagine you will "shut down" for a period of time to restructure and set things up.

WHAT SAY YOU!?

Alot of the personnel at the bases would be from the North, so I don't see much happening with the military bases.

[Red Squirrel]

I'd say this post is the ramblings of a lunatic.

Slavery? Who are you going to enslave?

 

[brblx]

mexicans?

Slavery? Who are you going to enslave?

There is plenty of human trafficing going on today. Mostly for sex. But, there are people who are enslaved.

Also, you can take people who owe debt and force them to work. This is a new country, founded on the idea that you can do what you like and NOT have the government stop you.

So, there isn't anything stopping the South. It has risen. It can do what it likes.

What is it, that is likes and how will it get there?

You would have to go into Mexico and kidnap people. Does the South have the power and ability to do that?

I wish that I was free. Everyone is a slave under a government. People can be slaves without government, but government guarantees slavery. At least without a strong central government, the probability that you will not be a slave is > 0.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Hasn't the South risen mostly in terms of obesity rates, teen pregnancy, poverty, drug use, crime, and ratio of federal funds taken vs. federal taxes given?

Funny that the South is also full of Republicans who are so opposed to "government handouts" and who are such strident champions of "morality."

 

[lxskllr]

I'd install a government that followed a strict interpretation of the Constitution as was envisioned by the founders of the USA.

Slavery wasn't the only reason for the Civil War. State rights had a huge part to play in it. I could see some states that wants out if the Federal government starts some new program that they are really against.

 

[gophins72]

hmm ok, I think if the south were to rise again, then most of the tea party members would move there and install their views. a new country at this point would be economically disastrous for both, the previous and the new. on the other hand, they would not have the debt of the old government, but would be accruing it at an obscenely high rate to install their new regime. so not sure how it would work out, i think it would collapse pretty quickly.

Both the United States and the Confederate States both were not founded on the idea that you can do what you like and the government cannot stop you. The differences were in the balance of power between the states and the central government with the Confederacy going back to the older model of the Articles of Confederation.

It isn't legal though.

And I'm not going to live in the shithole south you describe. Sounds like an awful place.

Would slavery have been abolished in the South?

If not, than we would be able to do whatever we want in this new South.
