Yes.
If so, could you be so kind as to tell me who the Selmer that you follow was or is, and perhaps a little on why he or she is worthy of being followed?
It is a long story. I will leave it there.
2. So then, perhaps reconstruction didn't work on you both because it couldn't, because perhaps you were unable to do other than reject it?
Or maybe vice versa.
Perhaps.
3. I don't know whether a "reconstructed Confederate" makes sense or not. I don't see why it wouldn't.
I didn't directly say it doesn't make sense.
You seem to have had a problem with this statement:
"Forms of government will not substitute for the virtue of the people."
Is that a problem?
I basically agree with royalcello on that one. See post # 186.
Okay.
