How long could a victorious CSA have feasibly kept the institution of slavery?
Theyd be an international pariah relatively quickly with some European counires taking firm stances against slavery.
A decade? Into the 1900s?

How could the CSA have been victorious anyway? The only reason they lasted so long was because the north was holding back until the mid period and didnt have good leadership until near the end of the war.

1880s is my guess, which is when Brazil (of all countries) abolished it.

Why couldn't France conquer the Channel Islands. They're so much closer to France they're basically surrounded by Brittany and Normandy.

I'm honestly tired of my destructive emotions getting the best of me. It os effecting my jobs and schooling, I have no discipline whatsoever. I don't have discipline, because I don't CARE enough. I don't care enough, because I lack the confidence to go through any of it. I'm always anxious about fighting an uphill battle everybody seems to go through. I hear horror stories of graduates not being able to get a job and they become crippled with. I don't want to go through some trial and error bullshit, I want perfect results from myself. But all of it puts fear in me. I'm anxious.
Is becoming a Stoic a good way to combat these fears and anxiety? I've wasted so much time, because of my insecurities. I want a stop to it, and I want to move on. I've started reading up on some stoic material but I don't know if it's right for me.

You should just kill yourself desu. Life is neverending suffering anyway.

Can you actively teach yourself how to be stoic? I always thought it was something you developed over time naturally (for some people) as a method to deal with other people's shit?
It's like being upset and telling yourself, 'I'm not upset, I'm not upset'.. when you clearly are.. but a stoic just fucking deals with it. I am quite high right now.
>>
>>1044129
This is what I do, I don't think it's Stoicism so much as repressing it. It's gotten to the point now where I can be happy or sad or angry but the overwhelming majority of the time I'm apathetic to everything and I'm not sure how I feel anymore.
Would not recommend at all tbqh.

You refer to something in your essay called the *ahem* Holy Roman Empire. Now, I'm not going to deduct marks, but could you elaborate on what exactly you mean by this? I have my own misgivings with the term, but I'd like to hear your arguments and am open to changing my mind.

Hmm, I have to argue that this meme is becoming a bit stale.
One of the main reasons being, that
Last time it was posted was a mere 2 hours ago
Yeah, it's really annoying at this point
Recognizing this guys face in the catalog has become a daily occurence
Over the past 2 days,
My experience on /his/ has been polluted by this shitty meme
And i'm frankly tired of it.
No more shitty Voltaire threads, please guys
Every time i go on /his/ this crap is being posted
Mostly it's the same people.
Posting the same stale joke over and over.
In the first month it was fun, i admit, but now?
Ridiculously over-used
Even the most hard-core memers are tired at this point.

fucking Ney sending in the Cavalry without infantry support. What a fucking retard.
The real loser was Grouchy who completely failed to delay the Prussians and ultimately cost Boney the battle.
I've seen some historians who say Napoleon could have rallied for another battle near Paris and potentially won but his spirit was broke mes amis. Losing to wellington will do that to you.
