In fact, it was Shay's rebellion immediately after the revolution that caused us to become one country rather than 13 confederated states.

That was just pretext. The Federalists already knew what they wanted. And further, consolidation didn't stop anything. See "Whiskey Rebellion."

You are correct, sir. First one-third of interview was excellent; next two-thirds - not so much. Perhaps I should just buy LeBon’s book instead.

Liberty flags of the Whiskey Insurrection - note the fifteen stripes for the fifteen states, at that time



Okay, I "saw the Whiskey Rebellion - Whiskey Insurrection" and it was an interesting read.

BUT ... the subject is ...
    "How ... the Liberal Mob ... is Endangering America."
