The 1st slave owner in America was black

 

 

Throw out the concept that slavery began in America started in 1619. It did not.

Although black people arrived at Jamestown that year, they were considered indentured servants like many Europeans brought over from the Old World. This meant they served a period of time and were supposed to be set free.

Legal slavery started in 1654 when free blacks, Anthony Johnson and his wife Mary, filed a court petition to require their indentured servant, John Castor, to become a slave for life.

Despite the rhetoric we get from black activists these days painting American slavery as a white vs black cultural holocaust, in truth, a greater percentage of free blacks owned slaves than white people in the south leading up to the beginning of the Civil War. Only about 3 percent of southern whites actually owned slaves, whereas about 60 percent of free blacks did.

The 1860 census showed that of the 490,000 free blacks living in the United States, more than 260,000 of them owned slaves. More than 1,000 Native Americans also owned slaves. Free blacks also owned white slaves, although this was a far fewer number than the estimated 4 million slaves living in the United States at the outbreak of the Civil War.

Most slave owners, white or black, owned between one and five slaves. Owners and slaves generally worked in the fields or shops together, often resided in the same houses, often ate meals together. To own more than 50 slaves was to be a member of the elite minority, the high-living slave owners often depicted in propaganda films such as Roots, and the founders of the so-called White Supremacy society often referred to by modern media. The problem is some black slave owners were among this elites. One black woman in Louisiana owned 152 slaves, another in the same state owned more than 100. New Orleans – which was the capital of the slave auction block – had more than 3000 free blacks, who owned 28 percent of the slaves in that city.

This is not to say slavery was good, although treatment of slaves tended to be far less abusive than activists would lead you to believe. This is part of the reason butcher John Brown failed to inspire an uprising of blacks.

But the illusion that whites alone were responsible for slavery would be a gross overstatement, when historically, black were largely responsible for enslaving African blacks.

Critical race theory and the 1619 Project tend to blame Europeans for the international slave trade which fed Western slavery – claiming the Portuguese, Dutch and English (all white people) invented it.

Enslaving blacks by blacks goes as far back as Ancient Egypt, but International Slave Trade was largely invented by the Arabs, who began transporting black slaves across the Sahara from Central Africa in in 700 A.D., to serve as household and worker slaves to prominent Arab families, only later engaging in the sale of slaves to Europe.

Of the 25 million blacks shipped out of Africa during the international slave trade, 15 million went to Moslem countries with about 10 million going to the west, mostly to the Caribbean, Central and South America. Most of the slaves that arrived in the United States came over about a 50-year period that ended when the United States outlawed slave trade in 1807 (Thomas Jefferson tried to get it ended with the formation of the U.S. Government, but eventually conceded to a compromise with slave owners north and south for the later date.)

The Portuguese learned about the slave trade from the Arabs, and later, the Dutch and English took it up. The American slave trade – operating out of Rhode Island, New England and New York – accounted for a tiny fraction of the industry.

Slave trade, however, could not have become as prominent as it did without the help of African blacks, who sold their enemies, friends, even family members into slavery, infatuated then with the vast wealth Arabs and later Europeans offered, black kings selling black bodies into bondage, sometimes even their own children.

Although activists blame white people for perpetuating the industry, it was not blacks who halted the slave trade, but laws passed by mostly white European governments such as England and eventually America – even though the slave trade continued in South America two decades after Juneteenth freed the slaves in the United States.

The big fear in both the North and the South concerning freeing the slaves prior to the war is how ill-prepared slaves were to make their way in the world if they were set free – few could read or write – despite the efforts of Southern leaders like Stonewall Jackson to open schools for slaves. But then, 56 percent of Southern whites could not read or write either, better than in the north where only 43 percent of the population were illiterate.

Many leaders north and south believed blacks should be shipped back to Africa – some were, but most American slaves in 1865 had not come from Africa and were as American in culture as the whites were.

Most freed slaves were abandoned by the north left to fend for themselves. Many former slaves returned to the plantations they had worked on prior to war. Others wandered north or west. But of the 4 million slaves freed in 1865, more than one million died of starvation, disease or exposure, wandering homeless in cities in the north where they thought they might find jobs, but for which they lacked the skills to perform.

Some southern leaders – such as Robert E. Lee -- actually gave a stipend to former slaves in hopes this might keep them alive until they could find employment.

Will January 6 Commission crucify Trump?

 

Shakespeare could not have written political intrigue was well as the one currently transpiring in Washington to these days, as Democrats desperately try to preserve their hold on power, and to discredit those who believe the 2020 election had been stolen.

While the January 6 Commission has central stage in its attempt to reshape that event into an insurrection, building a case that Trump had used the protestors as part of a political coup in order to keep power -- rather than a legitimate protest over the belief that the Democrats had used software to steal enough votes to get Biden elected.

Pelosi has already rigged the commission by refusing to allow anyone to sit on it that has any point of view but the one she is selling, making it impossible for anyone to cross examine the witnesses.

The first day was full of grown police officers crying over how much they had to endure when protestors stormed the capital in order to hold accountable those public officials who were about to “steal” the election in favor of the Democrats.

Nobody was throwing rocks at the cops they way they did during the Chicago Convention in 1968, although many did take over the offices the way protestors did Columbia University. No national guard were called in to shoot protestors as in Kent State. No scene from Henry IV could have rivaled the overacting we got from legislators such as Kinzinger, whose tears flowed like gentle rain from heaven each glittering in the bright lights of TV cameras.

The second day brought the supposed “smoking gun” as the rigged court of Democrats and Trump-haters like Kinzinger heard testimony from the Department of Justice about a phone call Trump made asking the Department to call the 2020 election “corrupt.” This was at a time when most Trump supporters believed the Democrats had used software to rig the election, but the Justice Department refused to investigate, and courts refused to hear evidence from GOP and other lawyers – with even the U.S. Supreme Court too scared to raise the wrong questions about the legitimacy of Biden’s presidency. This was at a time when Media and the new Biden administration had begun a purge of anybody in and out of government who even hinted that the election might have been stolen.

This testimony by a career member of the Department of Justice comes also at a time when the head of the Department of Justice has been threatening those states that are auditing the election results, sending a message that the Department would step in if they found results that are contrary to the narrative that Biden had beaten Trump in those states.

Is it any wonder that career men in the Department are scrambling to show their loyalty to the new regime and producing bits of evidence Democrats can use to build their case against Trump?

The Spanish and other inquisitions of the Middle Ages may well seem tame in this behind-the-scenes power struggle to legitimize the Democratic claim for power. Arms are being twisted, careers threatened, criminal indictments alluded to in order to keep everybody on the inside following the party line in making it clear, Biden is king of the hill.

Not all of this is happening inside the government either. Lawyers who have raised the wrong questions have been disbarred, and businesses that support the Trump belief that the election may have been stolen are seeing serious backlash from Democratic supporters.

Added to this, the Justice Department in the same week ordered the IRS to release Trump’s tax returns to Congress – obviously determined to provide the January 6 hearing with more fodder from which to fabricate evidence that January 6 was an attempt to overthrow the government rather than an attempt to keep the Democrats from doing so.

Democratic-leaning Media is having a field day trying to shape the January 6 events into the myth of insurrection the Democrats are trying to sell.

There is very little doubt that if you create a kangaroo court like the January 6 Commission and stack it with anti-Trump people, you are going to come up with the skewed conclusion that Pelosi wants.

This commission has several purposes. First, to bury once and for all any belief that Biden stole the 2020 election. Secondly, to paint the January 6 event into an insurrection rather than a protest against Congress certifying a stolen election. Thirdly, to dash GOP chances of regaining control of Congress in 2020 and to destroy Trump and keep him from running for president in 2024.

The January 6 Commission is political theater at its best and a power struggle at its worst, making the anti-communist hearings of the 1950s look tame – partly because there is much more at stake, if Trump is right and the Democrats actually did steal the 2020 election.

Washington Post is chicken little about delta chickenpox

 

 

The Washington Post has come up with it CDC document that supposedly said that Delta virus is as contagious as chicken pox.
This report has been picked up by all the other major media as if it's fact
Only nobody else can verify whether the information is true because it came as all things from The Washington Post through some unnamed source.
Of course, the report defies logic because if this was true the White House which is determined to force people to vaccinate would have released it as an official statement.

This unverified piece of nonsense is part of a series of communications among health officials speculating about what the new strain is about by some researcher who appears to have supplied no verification or science to support the conclusion.

Leaks like this are very common because they allow the government to say something that is not true but get it out into the public anyway thereby allowing the White House or CDC to later tonight when real scientist and real doctors dispute it.

“A man never reaches that dizzying height of wisdom that he can no longer be led by the nose,” said Mark Twain.

But once reports like this are out into the mainstream media there's no pulling it back or denying it in people's minds. You can’t put jack back into the box regardless of how much of a lie it is.
This has been the Mainstay of mainstream media for years breaking a trial balloon like this, letting people believe it's true and then later quietly walking it back.
So, we get misinformation through major media who claims anti-vax people are spreading misinformation.

To modify something Mark Twain once said, the best way to find out if media is honest, ask them, if they say yes, you know they are crooked

The official figures – when the CDC actually releases them seems to differ from the hysteria the white house and media are promoting.’

We are not seeing a repeat of covid-19; we are seeing a spike most predicted would occur if we opened the economy. This has brought us back to late spring numbers as far as positive cases, figures that allowed us to reopen the economy.

But we are seeing a resurgence of the hysteria that covid-19 caused without much of the evidence to back it up.
Even with covid-19 the rate of recovery was 99% and most people if they felt any symptoms, they were mild the same is true of this.
One report said that the United States has the most positive in the world which is true because United States is doing the most testing of any country in the world. This is the field of dream method of science, if you test it, people will test positive.
We are also seeing non-vaccinated people being scapegoated and targeted for abuse even by public officials ,a kind of witch-hunt that is determined to make second-class citizens of them and turn people into them like a Lynch Mob.
Delta apparently does spread more easily than covid but that doesn't mean it's more deadly and the problem here is we have an obsession by the White House to meet its 70% vaccination number and to distract people with new hysteria from the complete failures of the administration.
Most of what we're seeing is forcing people to comply like that Witch Hunt of January 6th commission Which is less interested in finding truth then assigning blame and creating a myth about what actually happened on January 6th with a pack of cry baby capitol cops justifying why they were so incompetent.
The motive for this new hysteria are still not certain but it is clear that this is more about politics than it is about science or health and that we are not going to see this go away until everybody complies

Despite the Washington Post report this is hardly an epidemic of epidemic proportions. It is an epidemic of media misinformation, even if the motive still remains unsolved.

Unfortunately, many in the public will buy this bullshit, confirming an observation by Oscar Wilder: “There is much to be said in favor of modern journalism. By giving us the opinion of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.”

January 6 Commission sheds crocodile tears

 

Elton John’s song, Crocodile Rock kept running through my head during the whole time I watched the January 6 Committee hearing this week, only I kept substituting crocodile tears for the lyrics instead.

No Saturday Night Live skit has been so hilarious as this scene was, and perhaps was even scripted by SNL writers for the occasion.

Nothing inspires laughter so heartily as watching grown men cry on cue.

We, of course expect, no less fake emotions from Congress since they are professional frauds in the first place – or as Mary McCarthy once called them, “illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage.”

So, it is no accident that we have these hacks holding this hearing the same week Congress is trying to hoodwink the public with its infrastructure bill, trying no to let the gravy of political patronage show on their fancy vests.

Pelosi’s committee may well live up to Mark Twain’s assessment of congress when he said, “there is no distinctively native American criminal class except congress.”

Having Congressmen and women cry on cue is no surprise. These are people who have used people's emotions for years to get elected.

The shock came seeing those officers who enforce the laws in Washington DC bawling their brains out, suddenly emotionally overcome by memories of actually having to do their job.

This flood of Tears must have had many real cops around the country rolling on the floor in absolute hysterics at what they were witnessing.

Try to remember that Pelosi and her henchmen were first on line to ask for the defunding of the police in many cities – even though with real crime rising in places like Seattle and Chicago – they are quick to deny it.

This idea that the protest of January 6 – in which one officer died of unrelated injuries – warrants national attention when the murder rate in Chicago and the slaughter of cops elsewhere in the county does seems more tragic than funny, leaving an audience confused over what the Democrats are trying to accomplish by crucifying a few protestors while letting real murders get off.

Obviously, the January 6th commission's primary objective is to totally humiliate police officers in public and this commission did its best to destroy the reputations of those cops it dragged up to testify as witnesses

This Veil of Tears might well do to put out the wildfires in California and solve the drought phony climate change scientists claim have been caused by human activity.

Hollywood could not have done worse job in creating a scene like this, changing Fred Allen’s one time claim “Hollywood is a place where people from Iowa mistake each other for movie stars,” to Congress where the general public is expected to mistake orchestrated like this commission as real.

This is not a scene Mr. Smith Goes to Washington; more like one from Ferris Bueller's Day Off with taxpayers forced to pay the salary of amateur actors trying to play the role of Pilate in a retelling of “The Greatest Story Ever Told.”

We didn’t get a cast of thousands but got enough crocodile tears as if we did.

Since we already know the outcome of this kangaroo court, Pelosi and company had to come up with something to pump up the volume, and gave us the wailing tears of supposedly grown men, who we at any moment expect to throw themselves down onto the floor in a tantrum, men and women in whom  we trust our lives and livelihood, and cops who are actually trust to carry a weapon provided they can see what they are shooting at through that veil of tears.

You have to wonder what happens next time they go out into the street to actually do their job and a suspect looks at them and remembers them on the screen and starts laughing their ass off just the way most police officers would during their testimony.

Let’s face it, nobody expected much from these hearings. So, nobody is disappointed by the lack of justice they are giving us.

Bad theater is better than no theater, although most of those involved can’t even come up with a performance to rival Arnold Schwarzenegger, even if the ultimate aim is for congress to take on the role as terminator.

I don't mind political theater I just wish it was good political theater.
But watching Kinzinger wiping tears from his face as he listens to testimony almost made me do it spit take of my morning coffee and reaching for my bottle of Tums to keep from puking.

This is not an unusual reaction to Kinzinger. But watching him pretending to be sympathetic sent it over the top.

Maybe he and the other members of the January 6th commission can get acting lessons so that next time they have a performance that seems a little bit less fraudulent.

The question is how to you top a performance of a room full of grown men bawling their eyes out?

How Marxist took over the schools, press, government

 

Peter Drier, a Marxist organizer in the 1980s, outlined how to destroy America from within.

He and other Marxist of the period devised a plan to use community organizations as what he called “incubators for Marxism.”

He was part of an American socialist movement that brought together members of washed-up violent radicals of the 1960s (such as the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers) and a new generation of more crafty, aggressive and dishonest Marxists with the hopes of reviving the movement that had crashed and burned early in the 1970s.

Unlike today, Marxists of the Reagan era could not openly expose themselves except in save havens such as CUNY, Cooper Union and several other socialist-sympathetic universities.

Drier knew that if Marxism was to be revived and to accomplish its mission of bringing down capitalism, it would have to do so on the stealth. He proposed that community organizations – that seem so benevolent in the mission to help poor people or save the climate – could become the breeding ground for a new and more powerful socialism, one that would ultimately transform America into a Marxist state.

While activists would not cease their never-ending drumbeat of public protest, this would serve as cover for a more insidious movement to infiltrate schools, the press, and eventually government, acting out the pretense that they want to help humanity, when their real goal is to nudge these organizations to the extreme left, and ultimately undermine their integrity with the aim of bringing about social revolution.

Nearly all the community organizations active today – from those who feed the poor to those who save the environment – are at their core Marxist, even if not all of their membership know. Many do not even disguise this, calling themselves socialist without fully understanding what socialist really want.

Drier understood that these organizations could become powerful voices in the community that influence policy and press coverage, scaring politicians into adopting positions these Marxist wanted.

While these groups pretend to help people, their real purpose is to set the stage for the eventually destruction of the American way of life and establish America as a Marxist state.

Government reform that really is not reform become timebombs that will eventually demolish the state, Drier predicted.

One of the key pieces of this plan was to have government increasing adopt more and more expensive entitlement program that government cannot afford to maintain. If government seeks to cut back on these, Drier predicted the masses would rise up and overthrow the government. If the Government continues the programs, the burden will eventually cause a massive fiscal crisis and cause it to collapse.

Drier established the idea that grassroots organizations would ask like communist cells, each working independently towards their own objectives, coming together when seeking to influence public policy or to get one of their own elected to public office – school board, city council, state or federal legislature or as in the case of Obama, President of the United States.

Many of these grassroots people take up low lever jobs in the government or large not-for-profits where they have access to resources, but largely remain unseen – such as welfare workers that allow them to milk the poorest of poor for votes, or volunteers on some environmental, civic or other group whose membership can be relied about as manpower for campaigns or to spread propaganda.

These Marxists often lead these grassroots groups in voter drives in poor and ethnic neighborhoods, sometimes steering people into illegal voting, then raising a stink that authorities are trying to keep poor people from the ballot box, forcing people to turn against moderates.

But the real power of these groups is their ability to bring votes to the table or raising a stink among media, which they have also infiltrated, eventually pushing the government in less and less wise policies – always with the ultimate aim of inciting revolution.

Black Lives Matter, Antifa, defunding the police, and various self-declared socialist groups are only the most obvious. Groups promoting Critical Race Theory and other radical educational programs are in some ways red herrings, in that these misdirect public attention away from groups that are most actively seeking to overthrow the government. People pulling down statues of Robert E. Lee may be less dangerous than some of the people distributing meals. The real danger is in those groups that seem the most innocent, the ones whose mission seem the sincerest.

War for the White House

 

  

Obama wants Biden out of the White House now that Biden has served his purpose as a trojan horse
The problem is Biden does not want to leave now that he's actually has the seat. This partly explains why Obama's doctor has labeled Biden unfit the first step in a process that will likely in the invoke the 25th Amendment.
This also explains the Warfare going on between Biden and Harris.
Obama never wanted Biden as a candidate he wanted Harris but because Harris his girl was unelectable they had to use Biden seen as a moderate the gain the White House.
Now that Biden has won Obama wants to replace him with Harris.
This has resulted in a conflict between the president and vice president as Harris tries to position herself for the transition and Biden resists.

This may explain why Harris and Biden are locked in a bitter behind the scenes

Obama needs Harris wants to evoke the 25th Amendment but may not have the votes necessary to pull it off -- at least not yet.
The 25th Amendment was passed after Kennedy assassination in order to preserve the transition of power the White House.
Although there are several provisions to keep one is the fact that the vice president can take over as president if he or she declares the president incompetent or incapacitated.
That's right folks this is straight out of that movie Air Force One but in truth actually does exist.
What is needed however is a majority of the cabinet members to go along with the vice president.  And there's the rub. Just who are the cabinet members loyal to?

While Biden might crave the power the position brings him, his staff may be more interested in the graft that comes with being close to the President, kickbacks from lobbyists and others who themselves want to snuggle up with one of the most powerful men in the world.

Biden may well be as out of touch with reality as Obama’s doctor claims, but Biden’s staff will do everything to protect him and their own interests, even if it means opposing the real mastermind behind the 2020 coup, Barrack Obama.

Behind the scenes is a lot of sabotage going on
it was no accident that Biden sent Harris to the Mexico border to deal with the illegal immigration mess. It is a no-win situation for her, and no matter what she does, she would look incompetent (as if she doesn’t already.)

And she knowing this deliberately avoided going to the Mexican border in order not to have that stain on her record.
Her staff appears to be the primary group behind the sabotaging of Biden and pushing many of the video things we see on the internet of Biden's incompetence.

Biden's people, meanwhile, are spreading wild rumors about dissatisfaction among Harris's staff in order to evoke chaos there, and to seed mistrust in the public for her leadership which seems to be working
Polls orchestrated by media-friendly to Biden apparently show Harris’ numbers dropping.
On the other hand, media loyal to Harris have been coming up with polls that show Biden's favorability dropping as well.

The Harris-Biden feud doesn’t help Trump as much as the feud between Biden and Obama.

Since Obama is the real mastermind behind the Biden administration, the longer Biden holds out, the more uncertain people in the swamp are about who to throw their loyalty behind.

Obama wins if Harris takes over, but Obama can't be as obvious as he was when he sabotaged the NBA and other professional sports.
You have to remember of Obama once supported violent overthrow of capitalism in his youth and while he seems to have modified that when elected president to become a socialist Democrat instead, the fall of capitalism (and perhaps the American government itself) may well still be his ultimate aim.

He could not do this while President without exposing himself and his true agenda. But now, as the man with his hands on the levers, he can finally orchestrate this from behind the scenes, bringing the nation closer and closer to open conflict – which is to establish a Marxist state

As president, Obama used several tools for this purpose – among which is the unproven and completely inaccurate concept of manmade climate change. He and others supported a United Nations group that protected climate science from being challenges with the ultimate aim of redistributing wealth from the Unites States to third world countries.
But Obama's primary tool has been the use of race, creating deeper and deeper divisions that did not exist prior to his administration.
This is why Biden is not exactly the perfect candidate to initiate a race war whereas Harris might be.
Obama did not want Biden as president in the first place; he wanted Harris and only back Biden when it was clear that America wanted a moderate Democrat, and not an extremist like Harris.

Thus, Biden became the Trojan Horse of Marxism that allowed the Marxists to take over the White House and the rest of government.
But Bidens usefulness to Obama ceases and we’re getting closer to the point to get Harris in the White House a better face for the new Revolution than Biden.
Unfortunately for Obama he has created a Shakespearian dilemma for himself, in that Biden is not yet willing to give up power now that he has attained it.

His removal will be almost as ugly and obvious as the 2020 election was.

Super spreaders from Texas

 

We are seeing a full court press by media and Democrats to get the unvaccinated vaccinated.

One idiot Governor has made the unvaccinated scapegoats to a new Witch Hunt.
Media keeps painting the worst-case scenarios on their front page everyday about people on ventilators when this is the exception, not the rule.
We are, of course. being scared to death about the potential for these miscreants spreading the disease.

As to be expected, it is the most woke people who are spreading this and not because they are afraid to catch it but because they want to control the unvaccinated, painting them as a new breed of the January 6th Rebellion that needs to be crushed out or forced into submission.

Everybody points to the 600,000 Americans who died as a result of covid ignoring for the most part that at about 200,000 of them died in nursing homes unprotected or even deliberately sent there even though the US government Health officials knew they would be the most notable from the early outbreak in Italy.

This raised the questions as to why the Biden Administration has refused to investigate the nursing home deaths

Although painted as the worst spread of virus in memory, 600000 out of about 350 million people in America died or causing calculation of life expectancy to be reduced by one year.
The 1969 to 1971, 400,000 Americans died of a similar pandemic without most of the hoopla and that was based on a population of 180 million making the 1969 variety statistically the worst pandemic in the United States since the 1918 outbreak.
Officials like the governor of Mississippi are blaming the unvaccinated for continuing the virus today.
But most of the people who are throwing stones at the unvaccinated are those who are already the most protected, who have had their shots and do wear their masks and even wear gloves and face shield to protect them from the onslaught.

So, if they can’t catch it from the unvaccinated, why are they bent out of shape by those who do not wish to protect themselves?

Perhaps the govern and her cohorts in media are blaming the wrong people considering that plane ride of Democrats who flew out of Texas spreading the virus in their wake like the plague.
These were all fully vaccinated people somehow contracted the virus in a plane in which everybody else was vaccinated. And the result was that people they met with when they got to Washington got the virus to from them.

So, you have to wonder, who is more dangerous to whom? – the unvaccinated who only spread the virus among themselves, or the self-righteous vaccinated who in their arrogance spread it to the unsuspecting?

Maybe the governor should be looking askance at those who are vaccinated as potential carriers.
Unfortunately, this justifies new lockdown and those who have the little cards with their shot registry. But studies have shown that not only do lock downs not work, but they often cause an increase in those who are locked down together – such as the tribe of Democrats fleeing from Texas shows.

Are the people who are throwing stones at the unvaccinated actually more dangerous than the unvaccinated?
Naturally, this is somewhat of a silly suggestion because we all know that vaccinations help people even if it is not the miracle drug everybody claims they are.

But to spread hysteria over a virus that has a 98 to 99 percent recovery rate is more than a little ridiculous

This is not the black plague, not the Ebola virus, not any of the really deadly things that have plagued us for the last generation.

So, is this hoopla about the vaccination really more about something else such as forcing people to comply, just the way we all had to comply with the face mask and teaching us how to be obedient citizens of a new state rather than actually trying to protect us from some disease which is  about as lethal as many of those  we have faced in the past, such as in 2009, when 240,000 Americans died, and similar statistics in 1991, and those going back to the early 1960s and mid-1950s.

Media spills more ink on this than soldiers did in the Civil War, creating a hysteria over a virus from which most of us will easily recover for some political purpose that may become obvious to historians, but it escapes us now.
