Good stuff Wayshuba. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I believe our Republic died with the advent of the Civil War. I credit Lincoln with maintaining the Union but he did Liberty no favors. It was the beginning of the end. The end of the beginning was during Andrew Jacksons Presidency. It didnt take us long to muck up the Founders vision did it?

Yet even so for 200 years we were still the "Shining light on the hill" that Reagan described. It was just a little dimmer than we thought and was being attacked by moths.
