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.

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!

Get the Penn State Harrisburgmug. 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.

Get the wichita state universitymug. The term "Deep State Knucklehead" typically refers to a small and disproportionately wealthy segment of the global population that holds significant economic, political, and social influence. This group is often associated with the concentration of wealth and power, which can result in a considerable impact on various aspects of society. These individuals are often top earners, influential business leaders, high-ranking politicians, and prominent figures in sectors like finance, technology, and media. While the exact composition and dynamics of this elite can vary, they are often criticized for exerting undue control over political decisions, economic policies, and social systems. Discussions about the "Deep State Knuckleheads" often center on issues of income inequality, social justice, and the overall distribution of resources and opportunities in the world. Oh... and they hate rubber chickens.
Dave: Did you hear about the new coof variant? I hear lockdowns are coming.
Billy: Aww hell no I am not going to comply with this shit. Who is the slapdick making all of these disastrous and coincidental distractions happen when there just happens to be an upcoming presidential election?
Dave: Most likely what we have here is a Deep State Knucklehead. It's likely that there are many of them who intentionally cause death and destruction for their personal gain. They are the scum of the earth and are probably guilty of crimes against humanity. Oh... and they hate rubber chickens.
Billy: Brohhhh!
