Apache: about the civil war, I was trying to use the more common explanation about the war, I mean, does the school system work at all anymore??
Anyway, I just demand their surrender, or I land troops. Easy enough.

man, and I always thought it was about froo-froo aristocrats getting down on the working man and eliminating the middle class while forcing the vast majority of the population far below the poverty level.

or are you talking about some other war? sorry, i was too busy eating cake.

I land troops to. Trillions of little microscopic ones. their overall kill ratios are not the best, but man do they get the job done. and its so much more terrifying and demoralizing than wimpy little neutron bombs.

***the author of this post has absolutely no affiliation with France nor their little civil war (even if you doctor it up and call it a revolution).

Well, apparently the school system does not work if slavery is ever taught as the reason for the Civil War.
But as for in game rebellions, I simply make sure the population is always happy so that they never happen. I have never had an AI use PPP on me, so I really don't have a rebellion problem.

you know, I was taught that up until the 4th grade. I would have to say that the public school system is not quite as effective as it should be. On the other hand, when I was learning fencing at UT from an olympic medalist, I was first taught techniques that were incorrect simply because they were easier to teach and learn. once we were capable of appreciating the RIGHT way of doing things, we were shown why the way we were first taught was wrong. likewise, I would not expect second graders to comprehend the true socio-economic causes of the war, nor would I try to teach them anything but good patriotic propaganda. nor would I expect anyone outside of the states to give two ****s about this conversation. turn down the flames dudes, this is a friendly forum. (despite my wise-assed-self)
