No army has ever won without the support of the people.

Rome, the Bolsheviks, Just about every Medieval Army, and most ancient ones.  Try something better than that.  Or better yet, admit that you might be wrong on this.

Let us not forget that West Virginia seceded from Virginia at the outbreak of the Civil War.  It could thus be classified as a success.

My thought was that the wacky developers of theme subdivisions are not just a late 20th century phenomenon.  Pretty much the opposite of yours.

No war is waged on rational calculations and the belief that one side is in the right.  We may hope for victory but we do not count on it.  Good armies make their own luck and must not count on hope to deliver victory to them.

I did not know some of those but have you heard of all of these?  I have only heard of one or two of them namely Sequoyah and Deseret12 Proposed U.S. States That Didn't Make the Cut

The list is a grab bag of conspiracy theorist and libertarian talking points that I am almost convinced is not meant to be serious.  Here is my take:1. You know there’s no meaningful difference between major political parties (Democrats and Republicans): This is largely true from the perspective of the average person but fundamental differences remain between the parties that are often brushed under the rug and/or dismissed by those making this charge.2. You understand that the Federal Reserve, or international central banking more broadly, is the engine of our economic problems: If this point is not straight out of Ayn Rand nothing is.  The loony right love to go off about the danger of fiat currency and it's accompanying built-in inflation and they have some good points.  However, the real root of our problems is people both rich, not so rich, and poor making stupid decisions without adequate analysis of possible consequences  The Fed is not responsible for the housing bubble, college debt, or consumer debt; individuals are.3. You know that preemptive war is never necessary: I am obviously going to disagree with this one as it is false on its own merits.  If done properly and with sufficient violence of execution preemptive war is a very good tool in the nation's toolbox.4. You know that you’re being systematically poisoned, how, by whom, and why: I read this and immediately thought of the conspiracy theorists telling us that Fluoride in the water is not for healthy teeth but for mind control and all the idiots that say modern food processing and production methods are killing us.  This is the same group responsible for the return of the Whooping Cough because they refuse to have their children immunized.5. You understand that government can never legislate morality, nor should they: Isn't it conservatives who are largely trying to do this now in response to the Democrats successful efforts at same over the past 50+ years?  Conservatives are losing the battle for the soul of America and rather than try and compete with the materialism and narcissism of the left in the battle of ideas they are now trying to legislate their morality into practice.  Shouldn't we as conservatives spend more time trying to show and convince people that leftist post-modernism is destructive of a functioning society and win that battle among the people where it counts instead of wailing about how the media and government is against us.  I think I remember such efforts at convincing being called witnessing.  It seems to me that most conservatives and religious spend an inordinate amount of time being righteous about how good they are instead of trying to show others how fulfilling the correct moral path can be.6. You know that the mainstream media is wholly owned and manipulated by the ruling elite: This is true yet a trope at this point that makes people start to ignore you as soon as you bring it up.7. You know that your neighbors are not your enemy even if you have fierce ideological disagreements: My neighbor can indeed be my enemy and we should not forget this but at the same time we should not let that recognition of it color everything we do.  Conservative and progressive ideology are incompatible and all we can do is convert progressives, they are certainly not amenable to enlightenment.8. You know that the endgame is one-world control of planet Earth: Is it even really necessary to mention how the NWO crowd has discredited themselves in the eyes of the majority?  Anyone that is too strident about anything will be ignored by all except fellow travelers and the NWO meme is no different from anything else.9. You recognize that there are esoteric powers manipulating our physical world: This part turns off everyone who is not a person of faith.  Is it not possible to be both enlightened and awake without going to church on Sunday?10. The power to change the world rests with you and you alone: BS, the power to change the world rests with those in control of the levers of power.  Only if conservatives can get and keep control of the levers of state power can we begin the process of changing the world for real.Let the hate and disdain begin.  I will pit my realism against the kind of conservative libertarian messianic thought in this list every day of the week because in the end it is only realism that will bring America and the world back onto a moral path.  Remember, the Jews are still waiting for the Messiah that appeared 2,00 years ago to come because they are too blind to see that he has come and gone and they missed the boat.

I did not find the facts interesting.  Indeed, his list of factoids actually appears to be a selected pulling of numbers and incidents from the Wikipedia article on the war.  It is essentially just common historical knowledge that has been repackaged.
