“The consolidation of the states into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of ruin which has overwhelmed all that preceded it.” ~ Robert E.
Thank you! It stands strong on its own but much knowledge about our current times can gleaned from ready this series.The question is always the same, do we desire learn from our past.
Another Great article on the run up to the War. Unnecessary War, as they all are. Good to see the Duplicitous Seward exposed. Maybe Duplicitous is not the right word. Maybe he was more UpFront than I have supposed. The North could have avoided this except for the Fact that the Administration wanted it. The Tariff, where have we heard that word, was too great to lose. And the Union was worth whatever the cost. More than 800,000 lives! Thanks for these Posts.

That's a good question, and I believe most of us sadly, already know the answer.

I’m flat footed and agape with how this continues to pull back the curtain, revealing more truths.
