I'm glad that you are willing but in your case I made an exception and simply reactivated you from the reserve list w/o consulting you.

Ditto, count me in!

Curiously, for the first time in a good many years, my travels have brought me to Kansas today.
A beautiful, crisp & windy fall day with no blood anywhere to be seen. ;-)

My maternal grandparents came from Kansas, their families settled here after the Civil War, strong Unionists.
In Kansas even before the war, slavers were overwhelmed by a flood of aanti-slavery immigrants.

Count me in, too! Another great project. Appreciate your continued efforts.

It’s amazing how learning about the nation’s challenges in the 1820s to 1860 was such a chore in high school, but now is of such interest as adults. Perhaps because we are witnessing new existential threats to the U.S. every bit as difficult as slavery was then, this has new and more urgent relevance. When studying the nation’s issues in HS, the notion of the nation dissolving was simply absurd. Now with the Dem-Communist / Rep-Freedom split rending us in so many ways, dissolution is openly talked about again...and indeed sought by many.
