"Hmmm…. Page 26 listed Missouri as one of four slave-holding states that never declared secession.

On page 86, it states that Missouri was admitted to the Confederacy on Nov 28, 1861, but as little more than a symbolic gesture."

“It's a sweet, sweet life livin' by the salty sea.”
Zac Brown Band

G.K. Chesterton
“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Thing: Why I am a Catholic

Alan Hlad
“It wasn't a miracle. You believed. And made it happen.”
Alan Hlad, The Long Flight Home

“You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”
Paul Sweeney

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
