And now I know for whom Farragut Square in DC is named, and what the story behind it is. I have to say, though, I'm always wondering how much better off those of us in the North would be if Lincoln had let the South go.

I don't agree, but my level of certainty about this is not high. I just wish we had a reasonable supreme court, no electoral college, and an end to gerrymandering. I wish Gore had been in the White House instead of Bush.
Remember the old saying: If wishes were horses, beggars would ride! Not sure that really aligns with your comment - only brought to mind that all of my "wishes" were horses from the time I knew what they were!

I suspect it would be perpetual war.

No, it doesn't really align--I'm just being wistful--but it's a good old saying.
Yeah - theres a lot of "being wistful" around - has been for going on 5 years! Just thought I'd throw it in there - lighten things up, maybe?
Thank you Maggie! That's good of you. I'll try to lighten up.
