Strange times we're in. We will have to be but up against great odds. Will there be a Civil war to end the madness. Who is willing to bare arms to end the corruption. It might come to that. I really don't want to be here to witness this mess.

That was the Civil War. People stepped in with armaments and over half a million people died.

Often the people are wrong, as in slavery. Slavery was approved by the masses, even in non-slave states. It took a group of so-called radicals in Congress and our greatest President to make it happen.

That's not how this works. It's not how ANY of this works! For instance - who are "the people"? Do they have leaders? Are there are persons who don't agree with the people? What do you call them?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Who really wanted to end slavery, enough to fight for it? Very important we keep this truth out there. Thank you.
