Safety Bulletin

 

This went out this week in DC...to Senate and staff members.

Basically warning them of crime and threats in their environment.

Yeah, the stuff that regular Americans experienced....has finally come to threaten the elected folks.

How The Whig Party Dissolved

 From the 1760s to 1854....there were two political parties in America....the Democratic Party and the Whig Party.

So in 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act came into play (passing).  

After this, the northern group of Whigs kinda left the party and went to a newly forming group....the Republican Party. 

Southern Whigs?  There weren't that many, but they mostly went to a quickly formed 'American' Party, and later transformed their small unit to the Constitutional Union Party. 

To note: John Bell ran for the Presidency in 1860 under the Constitutional Union Party....getting around 12-percent of the national vote (mostly southern politically-minded former Whigs).

I would suggest presently, we are in a 1850s mentality and the Republican Party, as it stands today....probably will only exist after 2030 in a marginal form (like the southern Whig folks).
