Re: [Marxism] On the 1812 war

And by this reasoning, we should applaud the war against Mexico, the
dispossession of the indigenous peoples, Fifty four forty or fight, the
annexation of Hawaii....etc.

And by the way, thank god for slavery or there would have been fewer
than 13 colonies, and then who knows what might have happened?  No US
period.  What a loss.

This is inane.  Having a Spanish language version of the SSB is
meaningles.  It's like having bilingual torturers at Guantanamo.

The 1812 war put the Northeastern commercial bourgeoisie -who were
scared because the war would deprive them of the profits of overseas
trade (mainly with... Britain)- against the wall.  It alsoforced the
[Northern] US to turn to manufacture and self-centered development.
The Hartford Convention incident marked a Rubicon in American
politics.

I understand that today's cdes. don't see these events, which are
embedded in the history of the (bourgeois) USofA, but without these
events, which were the direct result of "Mr. Madison's War" there
would have been no Second USAmerican Revolution in the 1860s, and
most probably there would not exist a unified country "from sea to
sea" between the 30th and 50th paralells in the Northern tier of the
American continent.
