Remember how difficult that particular spring was? It was as if everything melted at once and suddenly everybody was getting their horses and carriages stuck in the mud from Virginia clear up to Maine. Here I am waiting patiently for my driver to get unmired and back on the road. You couldn't tell from the picture but I was pretty angry about the delay.

Things really sucked here in Hawaii. Those Confederate privateers destroyed the whole whaling fleet and pretty much ended the whaling industry here.

On this date in 1861, the Virginia secession convention voted to secede from the United States (pending ratification by the citizens of Virginia), following Lincoln’s call for volunteers to put down the rebellion.

Happily for the North making Jefferson Davis President of the CSA was one of the dumbest things the South did.
