The historical lesson to be learned from France choosing tiny islands because of short term sugar revenues over the long term revenues of the country of Canada cannot be understated :)

    Not only those, but there were a bunch of wars in the meantime; including at least *four* "French and Indian Wars" so to speak, and in about 1676 "King Philips' War" that both completely wrecked the economy of New England and led to the demise of the Algonquin culture in the bulk of New England, and paved the way for the formation of New England as a major part of the USA.

    Your take on the Louisiana Purchase was interesting. Your take on the civil war was third grade level, however. Lincoln hated slaves, Atlanta burned to the ground, women were raped, Lincoln bribed elections, Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus, issued fiat currency, I could go on and on. The staggering death toll is just scracthing the surface. The civil war had nothing to do with slavery. Lincoln threatened to double the tariff.
