"My God, I have no country left!"

[Jim Garrett]

There are so many lessons to be learned from the events leading up to the Civil War. There has always been huge conflicts between all the political parties and people wanting to leave a legacy. Today we can see that we are mostly governed by politicians, not statesmen. The art of compromise is lost on many currently in office, including our "Commander in Chief".

What we need is another "Era of Good Feelings" Too bad we have not had one since James Monroe!
