Three Observations

 1.  When you go back and add up the participants of the Confederacy in 1860, it's something like 99-percent who were NOT slave-owners.  So it's hard to sit at a table today and say they were pro-slavery.  

If however, you examine the amount of biased news, corrupted chatter by both political parties, and the dynamics of the day....it was a 'us-versus-them' situation, and men felt compelled to fight over 'something'.  

If you then take this script and apply it today?  You get a very enthusiastic group, who in a single year....could go from simple woke-enthusiast to a fighting individual over 'something'.  

It is odd how history repeats itself.

2.  About fifty-percent of the hype that President Biden uttered at the Philadelphia speech....has been 'walked-back' by the President.  He says he didn't mean all those things he said.  

Just odd, but he makes so few speeches these days.....you have to assume he never read the speech text before that evening.

3.  I noticed off one news site.....apparently Americans are applying for pay-Apps, where you can buy groceries, then 'loan' you the money, for you to pay back later.

Yes, for grocery money.  

It looks remarkably like 1929/1930 in a way.
