Thanks again John for the link. The authors of that article were right has rain. By starting a CW the people of Mo not to mention the entire US would suffer and for what? The CW was one of the greatest mistakes and tragedies to befall this nation. Not that other nations don't stumble and fall either but it hurts that it was our nation that did so. Life is full of what ifs and mistakes history is full of them. I don't think historians will ever resolve wweather Lyon was a hero or zero because like many historical questions it is to intertwined with politics but politics is why history happans.

Have a happy labor day,
Leonard
