150 Years Ago Today

It all started when Fort Sumpter was attacked. . . .
 
Just about four years later the country was one again. . . and aproximatly 625,000 Americans were dead. . .
 
It is just amazing to me how much has changed when you look back at it.  They were using muskets, railroads and just started with the telegraph.  No cars yet, you still had to ride a horse.
 
What is even more amazing is how much we have forgotten about our past, how far our country has slipped from it's roots and what was fought for. . . we may well be on our way to our next civil war as the welfare state goes up against the worker paying taxes. . . I only hope it is fought at the balot box and goes no further down that road. . . . .
