I'd argue the Federal government saw some of its greatest expansions during the civil war, and immediately following. Seconded only by the early 1900s. Ever sin

I'd argue the Federal government saw some of its greatest expansions during the civil war, and immediately following. Seconded only by the early 1900s. Ever since the civil war, OG America hasn't existed. The Confederacy was the more original of the two in spirit. But of course, all of the good aspects of the south are clouded by the false claim that the war was over slavery. I'm not pro-slavery, but I'm also not pro-north.
