Hi Professor.

“They will probably be tried by Court-martial, and, if convicted, shot.”

If we did this more often, we wouldn’t have the current day problem with traitors.

Oh, and I have a list...

"Editorial: Virginia Gone to Her Place – 5"

Our editors use the phrase "sic semper tyrannis" to describe the rise of West Virginia and the future overthrow of the old order in the Old Dominion.

Somehow I doubt if this is the last time we'll see that phrase used.

"Editorial: The Crisis and the Responsibility – 5-6"

Our editors do not think the Union is moving nearly fast enough to raise an army and defeat the rebellion.
They pointedly equate nullification by Border States with secession in the Deep South and so counsel against delaying military action in hopes of appeasing Border State nullifiers.

But Lincoln is exactly focused on the Border States, Kentucky especially, of which he says that to lose it is to lose the nation.

So very curious how, now 160 years later, Kentucky's wishy-washy leadership is still at the heart of the battle for our nation's soul...
In 1861 Kentucky voters will rise up to overthrow their wishy-washy secessionist leadership and so save our country.

Wouldn't it be nice if today...
