    The North did not fight against slavery at all. The fought for the Union. Know your facts.

    The Southern states said it was slavery and only slavery. It doesn't matter what we think. They wrote it down and signed it. How do you argue with the very men who started it?

    He's correct. I fear tRump and his cultists have already done irreparable damage to the nation. Fully 1/3 of our people can no longer tell truth from fiction, and actually seem to applaud the fiction just because it supports their bias. We are a lUghingstock internationally as well as being considered untrustworthy. The economy looks good for the moment, but we are hanging on the edge of a cliff fiscally. The racists feel bold enough to throw off their covers. And so on.

    I don't see it getting any better soon either.

    It was a bit hyperbolic of Obama to say that. Just as hyperbolic as when people claimed the same thing about his presidency.

    I dunno about that. CNN is running a series called "1968" right now. I rarely watch that channel, but every now and then it does carry an interesting series.

    Anyway, I was only 10 at the time, and remember when MLK and Robert Kennedy were murdered. But I didn't realize how divided our country was at the time. Riots broke out at political conventions, inside and outside. Police were brutal back then and racism was alive and well.

    IMO, warts and all, we've come a long way since 1968.

    Re bolded, that applies to all sides.
