      Thanks, I came from a different POV, the US meddling to install and support dictators in Latin America is well known and documented

      This ignores things like slave catchers who ventured avoid state borders into the north to catch free men (illegally) and the south by seceding was taking hostage those people and other Americans. West Virginia exists because the government of Virginia decided they wanted to secede but the people didn’t

      Also states don’t get to vote on laws and just leave and get their way anyways if the vote doesn’t go their way. That’s the agreement they made, and the only basis they had for seceding was they feared a law that would make them unable to own slaves.

      The confederacy also started the war with the north by attacking fort Sumter

      Oh, I thought it was about the '60s–'80s with regimes like Pinochet and Banzer and the series of military dictatorships in Brazil.

      This. It’s specifically a joke about El Salvador.

      I don’t think the US has fucked with Belize, Suriname, or Guyana’s soveriegnty. Those are the only non-latin South/Central Americans.
