And it took the Civil War to bring an end to that. Hundreds of thousands of people on both sides died because not ONE democrat voted to abolish slavery. The newly formed Republicans voted in unity to end it and history was made.

Sorry to nitpick but the edict of Fountainebleau was in 1685 not 1865. I look forward to The Overlook every week. Thank you for writing these as well as your books.
