I just finished reading a great book. oh really? what book was it? The Zimmerman Telegram by Barbara Tuchman.  It's about the bungled German attempt to bring Mexico into war with the US during WWI.  Of course Wilson the Democrat invaded Mexico twice anyway, lol. I haven't heard anything about that before. I might have to pick it up to read it.  Yeah, Wilson was an Elite east coast liberal.  This generation of American Elites was raised on the Civil War, when hundreds of thousands of poor white Americans were drafted from their poor and starving families to go fight for the freedom of Black slaves after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. that's interesting. this isn't anything they teach you at school.  They usually go over the Draft Riots, but they don't go into why people were rioting.  It's because they had 7 children at home, a sick wife, 3 kids had Ricketts or Bari Bari from malnutrition, and East Coast rich liberals like Johua Lawrence Chamberlain are gettting a big religious experience out of it.  THose men in his unit had starving families at home.  Wilson for his part believed that the expenditure of American working-class lives was worth it to meddle in troublesome Mexican politics, so that they could be 'Enlightened'.  Yes, liberals, always willing to shed someone else's blood for the Brave New World. you seem so knowledgeable about all this. have you considered teaching a history class? I couldn't even make it through a history college course without being kicked out.  I strongly suggest The Civil War by Ken Burns.  Just remember when David McCullough (who is a fantastic author, read The Great Bridge!) is describing how slaves lived in a one-room dirt-floor shack, that they had value to a rich man.  $1200 a piece according to Uncle Tom's Cabin.  But poor whites were worth nothing, and lived in conditions much worse than black slaves.  There is plenty of photographic evidence of this.  If a slave dies, that's $1200 down the drain.  If a poor white dies in the stockyards of Chicago like in The Jungle, you can charge their family for a wake.  Win-win.  Whites were always more subjugated than Blacks,  and it's taught right there in the History classes. I will look into the books. thanks for teaching me something today! Read about the Mine Wars, and realize that didn't happen just in Southern Appalachia.  The blacks recruited from Alabama and MIssissippi had a 'green book' to escape the hollers and coal mines and return to the Jim Crow South, which they preferred over coal mining.  Not so the Whites, there is no 'underground railroad' to escape, and so you have actual Revolutions up into the 1930s, with regular Army troops being sent into Appalachia to kill poor, starving white miners.  There's only two PBS documentaries about this, one American Experience, one Frontline mentions it.  Mining as a white in the 1930s is worse than being a Black in the Jim Crow South.  Blacks made this decision by leaving the coal mines whenever they could get away.  That's why Coal mining is a white tradition in the US, not because the whites ran them out.  The blacks escaped because they could, an Underground Railroad in reverse.  Why do you think giant Corps are going hard on BLM?  How many trillions of medical care has Coca Cola cost the world?   I never knew any of this. thanks
