Default Did the American Civil War actually happen?

Yeah, it did. That much is obvious.

But this guy says otherwise, because he doesn't know much about dead bodies and Sherman somewhat resembles a Pentagon when you draw one over a certain picture of him.



If you can't handle the stupid of the video, let this guy handle it for you:

Well, being that this guy claims that pretty much all of history was a hoax, could his videos possibly be just a little tongue-in-cheek?

Can we argue about who started this war, too?

If the war didn't happen-a hoax, then those, who was guilty of stating it, must be a hoax too

Of course it didn't. The real question we should be asking is, did the Canadian Civil War actually happen?

You know you could have a point. Way more Canadians have fled south than Johnny Rebs ever did after the US Civil war.

Yes it did. it began with a vicious attack on the government.




And ended with the total subjugation of the rebel faction.



The most noteworthy fight was the Battle of Flin Flon, Manitoba, in which more that 300 snowballs were thrown in one night. The bloodiest battle, though, was at Kelowna, BC, where a child fell off his tricycle and skinned his knee.

To quote Ken Burns' forgotten documentary, "The Canadian Civil War was fought in more than three places, over a period of three hours. The sacrifices made there will almost certainly be forgotten, especially by those who suffered through them."
