I've seen this idea from several sources. The British figured that American 'Manifest Destiny' would mean annexing Canada eventually. It didn't cost the Brits a lot to stir up Southern resentments against the North. So they South got played.

Many people believe that the British government actively pushed the south to secede in order to weaken the US.

Apples and oranges.

Vietnamese had been fighting for twenty years against the French and Japanese. The South thought they would achieve victory with a few battles.

I take it as a personal affront that there are grown adults who are ignorant of their own cultural heritage.

It doesn't matter, because what I enjoyed might sound terrible to you.

Like I said, two different jobs will have a similar skill set, and the book gives you a long list of all types of jobs. It even breaks them down by how much education you need.

[off topic?]

The Queen's Fool by Phillipa Gregory. The story of Bloody Mary, told through the eyes of one of her fools. The fool is a Jewish woman who has visions. Very well researched novel.
