May there be more like her to encourage the cowed to shuck the shackles of the progressive plantation.

The southern states were controlled by military governors and the southern people (black and white) had no representation during this period. Everything about the so-called constitutional process during the period was covered up to make the South look evil and the GOP corporatocracy who caused the war and murdered thousands of civilians look like angels. As has been the case with conquering governments since the dawn of time, the history is a fraud written by the victors. There is no one left alive to expose the fraud.
Slavery is a horrible thing. The GOP was just as guilty as the Dems, and the north was just as guilty as the south. Most people in the north and the south were innocent bystanders who had no slaves and had no power to change the system. Slavery was not the primary cause of the war. GOP corruption and corporate welfare for northern manufacturers at the expense of the people of the south was the primary cause. Lincoln was a politician and a traitor to individual liberty, not a hero worthy of admiration.
No one fought on the side to "free the slaves." They fought either for the propaganda of "saving the union" at the expense of individual liberty, or the side of states rights who were wrong to keep slaves. There was no right side.

Pretty amazing for a 1 month old pup...wondering if the cosmic radiation has changed their DNA a bit.
These 3 pups are really advanced.
The woman that put a deposit on him today likes the name I gave him.
