Now would be a good time to try again. Liberal wackos have taken over Vermont.
But sometimes it is. Consider the 1866 invasion of Canada by about 3500 Kennedy types.
Kennedy types only kill women. They wouldn't get far.
After camping out on the village green, they marched north until they were about six miles over the border, having crossed into Frelighsburg, Quebec from Franklin, Vermont. The Canadians declared Martial Law and President Johnson ordered munitions and supplies left in St. Albans seized under the Neutrality Act of 1818. When the Fenians retreated to St. Albans, where they found the park occupied by U.S. troops sent there by President Johnson to enforce neutrality. Defeated without so much as a single shot fired, the Irishmen were escorted to the depot and shipped back to Boston while locals were entertained by an Army band concert.
What were they doing, retaliating for Civil War raids? If so, Johnson may have had some incentive to sieze their property.
