Yep, three people spread across East Tennessee, West Virginia, western North Carolina, northern Georgia, Jones County Mississippi, Carroll County and Hardin County Tennessee, etc., etc., etc.

You know, even though I've come to realize the error of my ancestors on their rejection of the Biblical legitimacy of slavery (and polygyny and concubinage too, btw), the self-righteousness of you neo-Confederates never fails to disgust me. And regardless of slavery, your Calhouninan "compact theory" is so ludicrous that even Pat Buchanan shot it down in The Great Betrayal.

My post was not aimed at you, but I can tell that you and your brethren will insist on playing "gotcha last!" until I give up in exasperation. Very well. "You win." Now are you satisfied?

You should have gone to the New York Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner to listen to the Ketchup Lady.

Washington, Adams, and Hamilton forever. Jefferson should have gone to the guillotine of the Jacobins he admired so much.
