" confederacy "

 [ "Confederacy" ]

1: A group of corrupt companies such as the Trade Federation, Banking Clan, and Techno Union led by Count Dooku to destroy the Republic and create a corporate tyranny. Aside from their leader, they were oblivious to the fact that they were simply pawns used by Palpatine in order to create an enemy for the Republic he ran so he could attain dictatoral powers in the name of security.

  * e.g.,  ... Those freaks in charge of the confederacy just wiped out a whole planet of Gungans with their Battle Droid Army.

1: Unlike morons would lead you to believe, a confederacy has nothing to do with slavery. A Federal Government has a strong central government with weaker state governments. A Confederate Government has a weak central government with larger state governments.

  * e.g.,  ... Student: If anyone ever supports a confederacy, in any situation, they hate black people and feel that white people are dominant. Public School Teacher: That's correct! A Person with Common Sense: No the fuck it's not. 

 [ "Confederacy" ]

1: OK, let's clear up some myths:

  * e.g.,  ... Me: I support the Confederacy 

 [ "Confederacy" ]

2:  Slavery. The conventional un-wisdom says that had the Confederacy not been defeated, slavery would still be around. Nothing could have less truth value. The modernization of farming that occurred in the late 19th century ensured that slavery would have simply become obsolete had it not been outlawed.

  * e.g.,  ... Idiot: You racist! 

 [ "Confederacy" ]

3:  The right to secede. Yes, it's legal for a state to leave the Union. While the Founding Fathers intended for the US to have a reasonably strong central government, they also believed that there was a point where the state governments could act if they felt that that federal government had gotten TOO powerful. The Confederacy was doing just that. Look at history, and you'll find that "Honest Abe" had some BIG plans for the government.

  * e.g.,  ... Me: Oh yeah? Why don't you do some research before opening your mouth. 

 [ "Confederacy" ]

4:  Civil Liberties. In times gone past, when the US fought wars, the government saw no need to silence critics. As for how this pertains to the current War on Terror, I'm not quite sure. Now I do believe there are some things you just can't do, like exposing government plans. Expressing your opinion is good enough.

  * e.g.,  ... Idiot: Because it's too inconvenient!

5:  Lincoln's views on race. Contrary to the myths, Lincoln was not the heroic "Great Emancipator." His opposition to slavery was based purely on political convenience. He did not intend for the freed slaves to stay, but for them to be deported to some place where they couldn't bother whites.

 [ "Confederacy" ]

 [ "Iron confederacy" ]

1: The Iron Confederacy or Iron Confederation (also known as Cree-Assiniboine in English or Nehiyaw-Pwat in Cree) was a political and military alliance of Plains Indians of what is now Western Canada and the northern United States. This confederacy included various individual bands that formed political, hunting, and military alliances in defense against common enemies.1 The ethnic groups that made up the Confederacy were the branches of the Cree that moved onto the Great Plains around 1740 (the southern half of this movement eventually became the "Plains Cree" and the northern half the "Woods Cree"), the Saulteaux (Plains Ojibwa), the Nakoda or Stoney people also called Pwat or Assiniboine,2 and the Métis and Haudenosaunee (who had come west with the fur trade). The Confederacy rose to predominance on the northern Plains during the height of the North American fur trade when they operated as middlemen controlling the flow of European goods, particularly guns and ammunition, to other Indigenous nations (the "Indian Trade"), The Blackfoot secrets are now declassified But Only the Holy Okie knows the stories of Benjamin Franklin Buck his Grandfather as told to him by his Mother Mary Mae Buck.

 [ "Confederacy of Hamptoria" ]

1: The Confederacy of Hamptoria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Robert Hampton with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 992 billion Hamptorians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often. The Hamptorian economy, worth 112 trillion Generals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 56,541 Generals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens. Jennifer Government is a bestseller, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Hamptorian Space Agency, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, and students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hamptoria's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.
