@jbreuckm@GeorgeDAndrews2 Fun fact: Jefferson Davis was arrested after the War, but was never tried for treason because federal prosecutors understood Davis would not be found guilty of treason by a jury of his peers which would call into question the North’s Agression in the first place.
@ragnarisapirate At every Mass every day, the priest performs a miracle on command (bread and wine into Body and Blood). God would not allow/perpetuate that daily worldwide miracle if the Church had gravely and universally erred at some point over the last 2000 years.

Obviously there were both Puritans and Cavaliers in both the North and the South, but its more accurate to ascribe Puritanism to the Northern Invaders
“Our enemies are a traditionless, homeless race. From the days of Cromwell to the present day they have been the disturbers of the peace of the world. Gathered together by Cromwell from the bogs and the fens of the north of Ireland and of England, they commenced by disturbing the peace of their own country. They disturbed that of Holland, to which they fled, and they disturbed England on their return. After what has happened the last two years, my only wonder is that we consented to live for so long a time in association with such miscreants. Were it ever proposed to enter again into a Union with such a people, I could no more consent to do it than to trust myself in a den of thieves.” - President Jefferson Davis, December 26, 1862
