Ways of thinking change, some fast, some slow, for one reason or another ... sometimes they change faster in one place than another, for example just compare today's secular states with a bit of distance from their churches with the various Whackistans run by mad priests

That wouldn't have been 1865 for the chain gangs, didn't the northern extremists take the vote away from confederate soldiers and give it to negros [there's a thing that has changed in our lifetimes, now you would type 'blacks', which is simply the same word but in english] ... there were ten or fifteen years of Reconstruction, they called it, and what had been the confederate states got severely ripped off and held down, there was for a long time resentment of this, and of course it is what led to formation of the KKK and segregation and all that ... it was not a one-sided story, that war had an economic basis behind it, the north was financially motivated as much as anything

But times change ... sometimes not as fast as we'd like, and 'in the long run we are all dead' - this might have been said of warrants as much as of people ... that post wasn't really about war 'n peace, it was about warrants ... and here's the nub of it -

Warrants expire.

Period. That's all you need to know -g-
