re: #81 Decatur Deb
Both men and women of the last 30 years have a naive idea of what a national government can do to the bodies of it’s citizens. The draft was a quick grab. Your ass is partly yours and partly Society’s. It has to work that way.
During the Civil War there was a gradual realization among Confederate soldiers that they were not that much different than the slaves they were fighting to keep enslaved. Despite all the pre-war secession talk of Southern free men needing to stick together.
