For some of us, the Civil War and the Revolution both are part of our family history and influence what we think.
Your indifference inclines me to believe that neither involved the ProgressingAmerica clan.
Hah. I don’t know about any such clan.
All I know is that the managerial state has no roots backward past basically the year, basically, 1900(Progressivism is deceitful, it never announces itself). The managerial state, with managerial “experts” living in these unelected bureaucracies and regulations as far as the eye can see.
That is,
Progressivism. The managerial class was eventually nice enough to give itself a name, which gave us the ability to call out this evil by its name.
Otherwise, every street and every avenue, every boulevard, and even every alleyway - almost all of them end with Woodrow Wilson. Some remaining roads and the dirt roads lead to Teddy and the bull moosers. It is in fact true for example that the progressive GOP is guilty of giving us the 16th amendment.
At the end of the day you have to find ways to cross rugged mountains and even oceans to get to the Civil War. The disconnect from everything is profound.
