The Matrix forum is no place for political discussion, but I do want to be the first to make the political observation that when the 150th anniversary of the Civil War is celebrated, it will be an African-American president who's giving a speech at Fort Sumter. And perhaps at Manassas, Shiloh, etc. So the timing of this election is quite interesting...

EDIT: Damn! Someone beat me to it: http://civilwarhistory.wordpress.com/20 ... civil-war/

Well there will be an African-American president next year and next year is the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln.
