Meaningless concerns of Meaningful events that went down 100 years ago

[Melonfeud]

Upon the outset of the American Civil war, the Kentucky/ Tennessee western boarder region was the most tenuous & uncertain theatres, the nations President Abraham Lincoln hailing from ol' Kentucky was a savvy& brilliant man of sound& solid reasoned wisdom, as he full well knew that to send Federal troops south across the Ohio river to occupy both banks( and thusly the Mississippi & straight down south to the delta from there ) would've been the most assuredly blunder a bone head could've pulled, as it immediately would've solidified the states populace directly against the union, so ol' Abe played it by 'ear' for awhile as there was real shooting going on over in Virginia at that time( I'm thinking) as ol' Abe's fortunes of fate awaited, the Confederates Fouled up big time as on sept 3 1861 Gen. Leo Polk
( CSA) moved his forces up& occupied the railway shipping yard in Columbus Ky.,,, well,sure as shooting & true to the nature ol' Abe knew his home boy's to be? Kentucky quickly swung pretty solidly pro union, as just north of the Ohio in the very western edge of Illinois at Ft. Cairo sat an ol' whiskey drinking feller named Ulysses S.Grant, while the pro southern sympathisers booked it south to enlist
( pretty much en- mass at that time, thusly leaving the southern armys perceived southern support from that boarder state later on in the war , crapped out to all but non existent levels,,,and, that's the way it was,,,er,,,back when it was

Precisely! And I'm euphorically thrilled in having YOU raised this glaringly minuscule detail of " Less"ness into the light of studied view, for the present day Joe s***& Jane rag American couple could actually care LESS,,,

I've astoundingly realized the thread header has masterfully been butchered in dull & such a knicked raggedy edge affair,,, thusly removing the salient ,,,er,,, and foremost feature of the pertinacity of the threads basis of existence,,,,DUR,,, that whole 100 years afore my birthing anchor point? SHEESE, if I were the type to harbour concerns over "others" petty jealousies?,,, I'd just about have to order up a pretty loud yet only semi- odorous FART to audibly voice my feigned displeasure from amongst my PEERS.

Meaningful events from 160 years ago that should be meaningful today but seemingly are not.

Here's a fun fact for those folks who are trying to abolish the Electoral College by making the argument that it was created to protect slave-owning states:

Lincoln (the guy who abolished slavery) won the Presidency by winning the Electoral College even though he received less than 40 percent of the popular vote nationwide. Ironic, isn't it?
