RE: A Threat To The Republic
I guess an author is his own worst critic. Glad you liked the illustrations, that was exactly the reason I included them. I think actual sketches and editorial cartoons give the feel of the times.

WARNING... I feel a small rant emanating from reading the morning paper .....

Most of my histories are written from the Washington point of view and I gotta say that there was never a 'golden age' for this city. It remains, in my opinion, no place for an honest man. It's always been a place where greed and corruption meet to manipulate the masses. The Civil War was the worst of times and Lincoln deserves all credit for keeping things together.

I think the founding fathers understood that corruption and freedom needed to co-exist and designed the constitution to give us divided government. I believe that we will remain a constitutional government because to scrap it, as some would advocate, would surrender our enumerated 'inalienable rights' to whatever new political wave promises to modernize them.

Simply put, the constitution will survive because the people will always want it to.
