Never heard of the series.

It looks like it did when I first joined a year ago.

Bodine was his middle name….. ::)

Stab proof hoodies for the kiddies….what a sad pathetic world we live in.

... Foote's books on the Civil War on clearance sale....

I'm about halfway through the second book; a pleasure to read but not the type of book one can't put down. In fact it's too easy because it is so easy to get back into. Hence I have put it aside several time (savor perhaps) to read other things more pressing.Foote wrote like he talked... melodious and soothing. Wonderful to read on a rainy winter afternoon.Enjoy,Wally

I've read his books. I did listen to an audio version of his book on Vicksburg, He talked like a proper southern gentleman, I liked listening to him.

Let's not forget that the Townshend Duties and the Stamp Act were repealed years earlier, but Parliament had to make its point somewhere so it was made with the Quartering Act and the Tea Act.  Few colonists were going to be affected by these last two acts, but the colonists were not going to let Parliament save face.  To be honest here, we were in the wrong, but then again England mishandled its empire by letting the colonies get too accustomed to the freedoms of Salutory Neglect. In short, we were spoiled little children and wanted our way. ;D

And by then the great propagandist, Sam Adams, had spread his message far and wide.

Well my guess would be the spanish-American war. Also isnt this Americas first Cartoon strip?
