OOOOOHHHHHH! You're a genius.
Still, show me where it mentions congress? Congress had nothing to do with Grant's order.
Do you recall your first question? "What's the connection to today?"
I was pointing out that the connection to today is that the attitudes by the New England elites hasn't changed a bit, and I used today's congress as an example. If you can't see the connection, then in the future I'll use simpler examples in trying to discuss issues with you.
