I will always believe that SDI was not so much a new weapon, but a program to bankrupt the USSR. Smart move for Reagan. He was smart when it came to winning the Cold War.

We tend to forget Ander Jackson saved the Union from an early Civil War. He stared down Vice President Calhoun, the "nulification" man, and told him, "Our Union, it must be preserved."  He threatened hangings to any Congressman who preached sessesion on the floors of Congress.

Jackson saved the Union.

The South had more chance of winning it in the 1860's due to them having more industry than in the 1830's.
