Oluwatimi's a Rimington finalist (surely this news has been posted but I can't find it)

LOL. Two years ago I found a book in a box in my basement -- Das Kapital by Karl Marx, which I had apparently checked out of the New York Public Library when I was in high school. It was due back May 23, 1968 (says so on the stamp on the card pasted inside the back cover). I kid you not. Yes, I'm old, and I still have it. Tried to calculate the late fees for 54 years but gave up. I should probably just drop it in the return box when I'm in NYC. Unlikely they will come after me. 

Yes! The Confederacy had MASSIVE philosophical problems.

The SUPPOSED political ideals of the Confederate States - southern nationalism, individualism, "states' rights", sanctity of property (yep, even THAT 'property'), etc. - were heavily challenged by 1) the normal problems that all new nation-states have when setting up a brand new government, and 2) the practical problems that a war posed. And it's impossible to separate those two issues.

For instance, for all the talk about the south being an actual 'confederacy', the push towards a centralized government began almost immediately. How do you raise enough capital to fund the rebellion? Well, you need a tax levy that southern states can't back out of. The South heavily relied on imports of manufactured goods, so you need a centralized trade agreement. 

Then, how do you raise an army to actually fight the rebellion? For all the talk about a Southern soldier being some kind of gentleman warrior-monk...a great many people did everything they could to avoid the war. So, after much debate, the Confederate government passed draft and conscription laws (fun fact: the Conscription Act was the first universal draft in American history!)...but left so many loopholes that basically only poor people couldn't avoid it (this is part of the Lost Cause fallacy, but we don't have to go into that here). Less fun fact: military leaders were allowed to 'confiscate' local enslaved labor for use by the army. Oh, and one of the things that the South couldn't stand about the North - the suspension of habeus corpus - also happened in Davis' government pretty quickly.

The funniest part of all this, of course, is an inherent conundrum: if you have a bunch of states who are willing to tell a central government "fuck you I'm out", and have already done it once...what's to stop them from doing it again? Georgia, IIRC, basically started ignoring troop levies from the centralized Confederate government. The very guy they installed - Jefferson Davis - to specifically NOT tread on their precious states' rights...was doing exactly that. It's not too farfetched to think that a southern state might have double-seceded if the war had gone on longer or if the South became its own nation (but I'm arguing a counterfactual there, and that's not good historianing).

And let's address the slavery issue: remember that the Southern philosophy of Black people was something along the lines of "we did them a FAVOR by enslaving them." Just the existence of a border with the Federal states, across which a slave could be free, put immense pressure on the Southern economy AND the Southern attitude towards slavery. Slave owners were SHOCKED that their slaves would run away and then take up arms against them. So the government had to make policies regarding how black soldiers and recaptured slaves would be treated.

So yeah, in its short and war-torn existence, the Confederacy dealt with some really interesting issues.

Huge, lengthy debates.

If anyone, it was on Keegan. Olu had the nose, Keegan's DT stunted outside toward Hayes and the LB rushed the A gap while the DE dropped into coverage.  Stokes had to take the safety (Hickman) shooting the other A gap, so the LB had a free run.  It's a well-designed blitz, and the only way to stop it is to have Keegan quickly pass off the DT to Hayes and pick up the LB, but that's a tough ask.  I assume he felt he had his man, and the RB would pick up the LB, but he didn't realize there was a safety blitzing on the other side too.

As it happened, they might as well not have had the DE drop off into coverage, because he just jogged toward Johnson until he broke the tackle.
