The Original Agahnim's definitions
A war of numbers. The North was both more popilated and industrialized, and therefore had control of most of the weapons and ordinance production. The South being less populated and industrialized was thought to be easier to gain control of, and there had been a gold rush not long before the Civil War, which would interest powerful people in North to regain control of a seceded part of the union. Since the North wrote the history books, their version of history was always going to be the more popular and noble sounding version of history, but not everything in a book is to be taken without a grain of salt, any more than any other source. Most wars are money/resource/power struggles once you get below the surface, with headlines about abolition and emancipation from slavery being icing on the cake that gives people a warm, boosted ego, even if the people that started the war had no true interest in or gave a fuck about a single black/ African descendant since it's rare that ones that started the war are the same ones fighting in it (Washington being an exception).
The history books tell people the Civil War was about freeing the slaves to make people feel good inside because it sounds good, but for the average person fighting in it on either side, slavery was the last thing on their mind.

Get the Civil Warmug. The girl looked in the mirror one day and saw knuckles the echidna looking back at her from the other side, and couldn't decide whether to laugh or get infuriated, so she looked around for someone to ask if it was them trying to be funny and not the one in the mirror.

Get the Knucklesmug. Someone that isn't openly the introvert they really are. Someone that comes across as bold to people that don't know them well, and mouthy to people that knew them growing up.
The introvert seemed like a bold extrovert to people that didn't know her well growing up, that was certainly her image with them, and because she benefitted from it in many ways, she wasn't going to tell anyone that didn't know her well from growing up around her that she wasn't actually an extrovert at all, she was a closet introvert.

Get the Reset buttonmug. The bubbly girl thought mentally ill people were inclined to forgive and forget, which didn't seem like a wise assumption to make.

Get the Forgetmug. Everybody has different skills and different weaknesses, so saying one person's skill is superor to another is wrong, even if it's a more difficult skill or one that took more time and work.
Sports and games aren't enjoyable when one person's skills are called superior to another, and really a judge disregards the efforts of both athletes by doing that (including the one that got the gold medal). Hopefully no athlete is in it to be better than others. Your skills take you where they take you, and that's it.

Get the Skillsmug. Goofus became wicked due to lack of corporal (of/to the body via Latin loan words) punishment as a kid. Goofus thought that it was okay for him/her to hit others, but that it was a crime for anyone to hit him/her because of Goofus's upbringing, though Goofus would always claim that he/she was hitting back or that it was self-defense no matter what if he/she knew that the right authority figures were watching or listening.
