    Have been immersing myself in literature about Bleeding Kansas. You think things are messed up now?

        Basically the entire 1850s. I mean imagine something like Brooks beating Sumner in the Senate happening now.

        That’s a tragic part of our history that not enough people know about.

        I read this during the height of the Iraqi insurgency. Excellent book. https://www.amazon.com/Jesse-James-Last-Rebel-Civil/dp/0375705589/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3JYAWEP1YN1PB&keywords=jesse+james+last+rebel+of+the+civil+war&qid=1553141682&s=gateway&sprefix=last+rebel+of+the+civil+war%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-1 …

        People ask why I read a lot of history, when I don't work in the field or anything. Perspective is always the answer.

        Don’t forget World History... a global perspective is always broader than a domestic one.

        Things are messed up now. As an amateur Civil War era historian, and a kid who was politically aware (for my age) in the late 60s, it’s nowhere near as bad as either of those eras.

        Kansas was a nightmare. And it wasn’t about good people vs bad people. It was about terribly mixed up people, bad ideas, bad leadership, blood feuds, money, the usual bullshit that causes madness. America forgets.

        Often relaxing to go back to one's roots for a bit (i refer, in this case, to history).
