I didn’t read the whole thread before I posted either; hate when that happens.

No, I didn't read beyond the excerpt. Maybe the watchmaker did not know at the time, but the rebels knew that their secessions were entirely based on defending slavery as their own words show:
"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world."

Isn’t it interesting to have a little tie to the folks of the past?

I have always tucked away something of ours and about us in the places we have lived.
I would love to see what has fallen in the cracks in our current home throughout the years. We live in a mid 19th century farmhouse, the upstairs flooring is from an older structure and has some cracks and gaps. There is a hollow space between the floor and the downstairs ceiling. I would love to know what is in there.

What do you think a watchmaker would engrave inside Barrys Jorg Gray 6500 Series Chronograph?

When we remodelled our house, we ripped out a built-in desk. In the back of the drawer a child had written “I hate homework”. I met the woman who is now in her 50’s.

I looked up the story, and your partially correct. A dentist did drill that phrase onto Tojos dentures, but in morse code. The word got out about what he had done and the dentist knew he was in trouble, so he went back to the prison where Tojo was being held and took out the message.

None of that has anything to do with the thread, you didn’t read the article and made a stupid sounding post.

I remember hearing a similar story, except that the child was named ODumbo and in the back of the drawer he had written, "I hate America". I hear that the guy is now President or something...

None of that has anything to do with the thread, you didnt read the article and made a stupid sounding post. Again I admit I did not read the whole article the first time. I merely engaged in preemptive thread hijacking. Sort of like the Austrian Empire's decision to invade Serbia in 1914.

We live in a mid 19th century farmhouse... There is a hollow space between the floor and the downstairs ceiling. I would love to know what is in there. We live in a 40 yr. old house on 10 acres. Until we had the various holes and cracks patched up, there were mice everywhere. Most likely you would find a graveyard of tiny skeletons.

The first gun is fired. Slavery is dead. I call BS. Lincoln may have had many things in mind at the beginning of the war, but even he stated that ending slavery was not one of them.

Better for me to be the first injector of silliness here prior to a decent into denunciations of “Dishonest Abe” and “Tyrant Lincoln”.
