the war that occurred in the United States during the 1860s under President Abraham Lincoln that caused the highest number of casualties than any American war. It was a war between the North (the Union) and the South (the Confederacy) that centered around slavery—the North wanted it abolished while the South permitted it for economic reasons. The central issue of slavery began to divide the country in the 1840s as members of Congress bickered over the issue and as new states entered the Union. When a new “free” state entered the union, a new slave state was required do the same to create a balance. It even divided certain states themselves-- Missouri and Virginia, by which West Virginia seceeded from it after the war.
The war began shortly after Abe Lincoln became President in 1861 when the Confederacy attacked the Union's Fort Sumter, South Carolina—allegedly by mistake--and didn’t end until 1865 when Confederacy General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union Commander Ulysses S. Grant in Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. The Battle of Anteitem was the deadliest battle of the War. Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis should have all been hung afterwards for being a traitor to the United States, in my opinion.

Get the Civil War mug.A mobster and the real man who ran Chicago in the 1920s. Perhaps the best known gangster in American history. He was guilty of prostitution, illegal gambling, racketeering and ultimately, tax evasion, which led to his incarceration in Alcatraz. He died in prison of syphilis.

Get the al capone mug.What I don't do or ever will because women can't stand my presence. A complete waste of time for someone actually wanting to get in a serious relationship with someone. Nothing but an act between two fake people trying to put their best foot forward and impress each other so they can potentially jump each other's bones. In Western culture dating is a precursor to marriage but, ironically, will do no more for you in getting to know a person than watching a sport on tv will make you a professional ballplayer. It's also an incredible waste of time because getting together for a romantic rondezvous or outing will do next to nothing in making you connect emotionally or spiritually.
Dating is a new phenomenon and didn't come around until the mid to late 20th century. Before the era of dating, a couple would often "court" each other or marriages were even prearranged. If one is religious, especially with someone who practices Christianity, dating is NOT Biblical because not only does dating usually result in heartache when the two persons involved go their seperate ways, but there is no comitment between the two parties. It was never practiced for cultural reasons. For Christians, dating is not Biblical because God himself does not want people to experience the emptiness and heartache it often brings. For the secular world, however, dating is as normal as taking a nap.
Dating CAN lead to marriage but usually doesn't, unlike courting.

Dating is pointless in my opinion. It usually doesn't work and is a futile effort in actually getting to know someone on an emotional or spiritual level. Dating is stupid!

Get the Summer Vacation mug.Let’s get these common misconceptions straight:
1. Hoosiers as its people are called are NOT all hicks, like ignorant morons from the coasts think. Indiana has no more hicks than any other state. Hoosiers are average people who live in small towns, sizeable communities and their suburbs. But the hicks it DOES have are in the far southern third of the state, mostly south of Bloomington. Its 6 million residents are for the most part conservative but not anymore backwards than anywhere else. In fact, Carmel and the rest of Hamilton County, just north of Indianapolis, is very posh and among the richest areas in the Midwest and one of the fastest-growing counties by population in the country. Indianapolis is the capital and 12th largest city in the country while Gary is a black, crime-ridden hole and among America’s worst cities. Indianapolis is vibrant and progressive, generally speaking and more so than most large Midwest cities (except Chicago). It has spent billions of dollars revitalizing its downtown and has become the poster-child or urban revitalization. It is the fastest-growing metro area in the Midwest and Indiana is the fastes-growing state in the Midwest by population.
2. There IS more than corn in Indiana. Other agricultural products include soybeans (#3 in the country), mint, tomatoes, swine and poultry. Forests cover much of southern Indiana. Indiana has more covered bridges than any state, mostly in the south.
3. It is NOT part of the Rust Belt, like Michigan or Ohio. Much of Indiana lies too far south to be considered, with the exception of Gary.
4. Indiana is considered and industrial state. It is the country’s leader in steel production, centered in Gary, but the production of transportation equipment is its largest economic activity. It is the nation’s leader in the production of recreational vehicles (Rvs), engines, truck bodies and manufactured housing, a.k.a, modular homes. Indiana is an important state for the auto industry for this reason. GM, Ford and Chrysler used to be the big players but have since been replaced by the Japanese: Toyota, Honda and Subaru. Indiana is also the national leader in the production of musical instruments, caskets and urns (ironically centered in Batesville).
5. Indiana isn’t ALL flat. About 30% of the state has large hills: mostly in southern Indiana. Brown County is probably the most scenic location in the state. Marengo and Wyandotte caves are some of the largest caves in the country.
6. Yes, there is a town called French Lick (Larry Bird’s hometown). Go ahead, laugh. As if your state doesn’t have towns with funny names. Other funny names include Gnaw Bone, Beanblossom, Santa Clause, Shipshewana, and Mishawaka.
6. No matter how you look at it. It’s still better than Kentucky.

Indiana is a very average and desent state to live in. Maybe not as popular as California or Florida, but sure as hell better than the likes of Michigan, those inbred Southern states, including Kentucky and those prarie states.

Get the Indiana mug.The site of Fort Nashborough on the Cumberland River in north-central Tennessee. The Tennessee state capital and county seat to Davidson County, the 2nd largest in the state with about 570,000 residents. Known as "Music City, USA" it was the former capital to the recording of Country and Western Music, Bluegrass and Southern Gospel Music before the industry went to greener pastures in Branson, Missouri. It is still home to the Grand Ole Opery. It has more churches than almost any other city and is the headquarters to the Southern Baptist Convention, the world's largest Protestant denomination. Its largest industry is actually services and healthcare. Nashville is the home to former President Andrew Jackson, former Vice President Al Gore and actress Reese Witherspoon.
