A state of confusion, pure and utter confusion. A person is in a quantum state of mind. Believes in two/three realities at the same time.

A rebellion led by rich, southern plantation owners and politicians against the Federal Government of the United States of America.
The main cause of this rebellion was, first and foremost, slavery. The Union (another name for the U.S) was slowly becoming more and more abolitionist in the 1800's, and as a result the Southern elite felt the need to disregard any basic human decency they had left and fight for the enslavement of millions of African Americans. This was the main reason the Southern states seceded. Things like "States rights" and tariffs are secondary reasons and were very minimal compared to slavery.
In late 1860, numerous states in the deep south announced their secession from the Union after the election of Abraham Lincoln. Despite being an abolitionist, Lincoln pledged not to interfere with slavery in the South. The southern elite, however, ignored this and militias fired on numerous federal forts and properties throughout 1861, one such being Fort Sumter in North Carolina, which marked the beginning of the American Civil War.
The war would go on for 4 years, ending in 1865 with General Lee's surrender to General Grant.

Look at those idiots waving the confederate flag. I bet they couldn't even spell "Confederate States of America".

Penn State Harrisburg (aka Capital College) is located in the most boring part of Pennsylvannia, which is one of the most boring states. There is nothing to do. Students try to "party," which is admirable, but their parties either suck or get bopped. Don't forget PSH is also a DRY campus! Yay! Hahaha this place absolutely sucks and anyone considering this school shouldn't even think twice- Go somewhere else!
"Hey, where do you go to school now?"
Penn State!
"Oh wow that sounds-"
Penn State Harrisburg
"Oh."
Yeah.
"How is it?"
Boring.

"Oh."
Yeah.

Whereas the "deep state" is widely accepted as the permafrost blob of appointed, governmental employees who believe every myth about collusion, secretly owe their allegiance to a party above country and have sworn to resist all things Trump, the Sheep State is their analog in the public. They regurgitate talking points, believe every pundit before their own judgment and think that CNN is second to Oprah in sanctity. They bleat and bah to their shepherds in the media and NEVER question narratives. Those who do are treated the most harshly (e.g. Alan Dershowitz, Candace Owens, et al.).

Separation of Church and State is an ideology protecting religious freedom by ensuring government does not interfere to favor or disfavor private religious establishments so long as they practice without violating another's individual rights. The clause also protects from churches and other religious organizations interfering with government practices in an attempt to remove religious freedom so as to favor their beliefs. This clause proposes a metaphorical wall between government and religious establishments, unlike the one-way street idea proposed by fanatical religious theocrats.
Wiccan: You can't limit my freedom to worship in peace. We have separation of Church and State.
Radical Fundamentalist: No you don't! That clause represents a one-way street. Government is not to interfere with churches but churches can control the government and limit the rights of non-believers!
Wiccan: I hear Iran is lovely this time of year.
