US Government - March 17 - Period 4
"Afternoon dudes!" Ignore the fact that it may actually be morning. There is no such thing as morning to Ted anymore. "My most esteemed housemate dude, Professor Lyman, isn't back yet, so I'm taking the class today. Today we're talking about this Civil War thing. The Civil War was when Abe-dude made a big speech and a decision and then the north state dudes and the south state dudes fought over, like, slaves and stuff.
The south dudes were all 'Whoa, slaves' and Abe was all like 'Dude, no way' and the south dudes were all 'make me' and Abe was all 'Okay then, bogus dudes!' and he was most righteous. So anyway, the north dudes, the Union, fought in blue. The south dudes, the Confederates, fought in gray. This was so they wouldn't get confused about who was on whose side. They fought for, like, ages and then the north Union Yankee dudes (not to be confused with the north New York Yankees baseball dudes) beat the south Confederate dudes and I totally stole General Lee's horse."
"Uh, anyway, the American Civil War is kinda a good example of how government goes wrong. There was other not-slavery stuff going on, like who gets what power and, uh, money and the south dudes not wanting Abe to build strip malls in the south.
So...the question here," he looked at his notes, which he had totally disregarded before now. "Asks if you were in Abe's shoes, faced with a country who didn't want to do all the same thing and was splitting up, and something was going on that you thought was totally bogus, and you were President, would you do what Abe did? Or would you do something different?"
