Response to Kassie

Hi Kassie,

I do like how you jazzed up your blog including some photos. Makes mine rather drab by comparison.

Your questions are right on the humanities track. I am saying, questions such as "What would life be like" and "what would I do if in similar situation?"  are what Humanities struggles to present. Literature is sort of the red headed step child to Humanities, so your questions are very appropriate.

If Lincoln had lived?

The North, was a much more industrialized and urban society than it's brother the South. Presidents have typically taken a "spread the wealth" approach to the nation, I would think that Lincoln would have attempted the same thing. The South ultimately mechanized along with the rest of the nation, but I believe that it may have happened a great deal faster.

What would I have done and where would I have lived during that time?

I told AJ, when he asked a similar question, that I would have run oft. Either to the West, distancing myself from the recent trials and tribulations facing both Blue and Grey. Alternatively, I would have gone to the Bahamas. Set up a nice run factory and beat the rush.
