Personally Quebec should follow the example of the Acadians, They accepted that their independant utopia called Arcadia was gone but canada did alot of good for them ,All they wanted now was to perserve their roots and history and be remeberd.They were the early pioneers stuck in a dangerous hostile enviroment surounded by enemies, But they made peace with the Mic Mac indians who helped teach them how to survive.

Its kind of like the last Mohican movie, Your time is over but you want desperately to be remeberd.

As for the U.S civil war , its damn interesting, Most of my knowledge came from hollywood movies and maybe some history class.I just know that freeing the slaves waisnt very popular North or South.The new York draft riots they went around hanging blacks in retaliation for the war. Concidering how hard and cruel the U.S was on the Blacks throughout history no wonder they are screwed up in the U.S today stuck in a slump.I visit the Yahoo boards and the racism is staggering, Whenever a crime is comited the indentity of the suspect isnt revealed you will hear statements like " he must have been Black"! "The negroes strike again"! Shit like that on the yahoo board.

The British Empire ended slavery before you did.
