Well, both the Civil War and chattel slavery were great bumbles in American history, both for the formal losers and for the formal winners. There is no clean end by which to pick up a poop.
I don’t see a whole lot of hilarity in that. I do see, as always, the potential to depart the situation to one of greater joy.
The hilarity is watching people fight a war over, and over, and over again.
All with the same result.
