It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Of course, JQA was referring to the 3/5ths Clause...




Thanks for the compliment.

Obviously, what stuck in JQA's craw was that the South had more power in the Federal system than the number of its free voters deserved; slaves were both unfree but also the foundation of the South's disproportionate plitical power.

I was in the Deep South once and someone took me past the cemetery where the six generals who died leading from the front in the Battle of Franklin were buried. By then the Cause was Lost; but they would rather die than face the future After the Lost War. Chilling.

Talk about Faulkner's dictum that the past is not even past, let alone dead.

ATB,
