The Civil War Ended 160 Years Ago Saturday ‐ Or Did It?
[PJ] A hundred and sixty years ago today, the largest Confederate surrender ended the U.S. Civil War. Or did it?

On April 26, 1865, rebel Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston surrendered at Bennett Place to Union Gen. William T. Sherman, effectively ending the Civil War, a war which Democrats had launched in fury over the election of an anti-slavery Republican president (Lincoln). In the 19th century, Democrats used war, domestic terrorism, election fraud, dishonest propaganda, and fear tactics to undermine American patriotism, peace, and equality. If that sounds very familiar to our own day, that is because the Democrats never really stopped fighting a civil war, despite the surrender. They simply changed the battlegrounds and weapons.

Bennett Place ended the military phase of the Civil War, and was certainly a historic victory. But mere days before, a Confederate empathizer who opposed civil rights had assassinated Abraham Lincoln, leaving racist, incompetent Vice President Andrew Johnson — a Democrat — to butcher Reconstruction. Victorious Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant would go on to face and fight widespread Democrat domestic terrorism against Republicans (particularly black voters) when he was elected to the presidency. To this very day, Democrats are still encouraging domestic terrorism and protecting violent criminals in order to advance their chaotic ideology and undermine the current Republican administration.

#1  Civil War I ended when the USA was legally recognized by the UK as independent and when the Loyalists were dispossessed and exiled from the new USA. Civil War II ended with the last organized Confederate resistance, after April 1865. Civil War III is now in process. I don't spare to specify when CW III started, I will leave that to others.
Dostoyesky's novel "The Demons" predicted current events rather well IMNSHO.

#2  It never ended as they never gave up their slaves.

#3  Hakeem Jeffries, Demokrat Leader of the House, and Senaror Corey Booker, on the steps of the Capitol:

“There are but two parties in America right now, patriots and traitors."

#2  Anyone advocating this should be burned at the stake, according to environmentalists who FOUGHT this pollution for years. I happen to agree with that given that when I look to the Houston skyline, it's not covered in brown haze anymore.

And if they trigger the next ice age? The answer is scaphism on pay per view and betting in vegas. I would bet none last more than a week.

#5  before sulfur was eliminated from airplane fuel, there was a high level of particulates in the air at flight levels (5000' to 40,000')

there was plenty of sunlight back then

the sulfur was almost completely eliminated by the end of the 1990s

the sulfur was eliminated as a health benefit measure, not for climate control
the change in world temperatures is complex and difficult to actually measure as the atmosphere is quite complicated; the particulates had a number of offsetting effects, some cooling, some warming

this geoengineering experiment is designed to do substantial measurement at different altitudes
