[pirate] doncha remember the pig war? ARR [/pirate] i first heard about it on an episode of arnold (anyone remember this show?) i thought it couldnt be real, so i googled it and it turned out, to the televisions surprize as much as my own, that it was a real ALMOST violent conflict with the involvement of both british and american army ocupying a small island over some guy shooting some pig (for some reason i almost tiped penguin, i guess that would have been weirder huh?)Ignignoct said:

But then again, there were some rather nasty screw-ups, some that make that particularly event seem rather tame, like the Civil War, and the refusal of the government for so long to give all races equal rights (and yet there still aren't equal rights, affirmative action being an example. Such a pity).
empowerment of the federal government by the dissolution of states rights. Current times, states only have rights insofar as what the federal government allows.
