WHY DO AMERICANS SPEAK ONE LANGUAGE? CONQUEST
1) Our various States used to be as different as european countries.
2) The Civil War achieved in America what Napoleon and Hitler failed to achieve in Europe: monocultural conquest.
3) The primary reason given for the civil war is usually over slavery, but this is propagandism. The civil war was a fight between the northern industrial civilization and the souther agrarian civilization, over the proceeds of the Louisiana purchase: the western territories. Had the secession succeeded, the new western agrarian territories would have aligned with the Southern states and preserved slavery. But moreover, they would have given political and economic control of the continent to the southern agrarians, and allowed the south to politically control the north. The souther solution was to sever ties and this would have been the least violent solution. The north could not tolerate this for *class* reasons (the northerners were from the middle english classes, and sountherners more likely from the lower scotts-irish.
4) American political conflict is just as much between the “Nine Nations” of north america, as it is between urban and rural, and minority races and whites.
5) My suspicion is that we will have a break-up of the united states in the next half century which will coincide with the recognition of the failure of the european union project.
