3. This is the first time I've ever heard of this. Thank you for bringing

it to our attention!

"leading to the sentiment that the Civil War was "a rich man's war, but a poor man's fight"." It never changes, does it? To this day, it's the same damned thing. Change the names involved and the "reasons" and you've got us today.

We women might want to put this in our pocket. There's more than one way to make our voices heard... we can listen to the voices of women of the past, because their issues are still our issues. And this actually sounds pretty damned good to me in light of *rump and his fascists.
