"Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I pointed out in Reply 323 and 324 that it was CajunPrince who was wrong and not Walt. I guess you missed those, huh?"Perhaps you shouldn't be in such a hurry to toot your own horn. WhiskeyPapa said:
"...no one has EVER been hanged for treason in the United States..."
And by your own admission, John Brown was hanged in Virginia, which was in the United States, for treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Rather than get into an argument of what 'is' is I will point out that they two were arguing about the U.S. government hanging anyone for treason. Hanging someone for treason against a state is almost too ludicrous for words.
