SNL’s parody of Trump looks more presidential than actual footage of him.

My friend is directing Chekhov’s masterpiece The Seagull. Opens in Portland OR at Twilight Theater this Friday.

It promises to be a fantastic performance.

I know it’s a minor nitpick. But I read a book that focused on the events between the election and the outbreak of war. I can’t actually recommend it because it was written by a confederate apologist.

Even he couldn’t hide the fact that congress had not even tried to outlaw slavery. They had barely started meeting. But they also wouldn’t give in to slave state demands to pass a resolution that would extend slavery to new states.

@zleap @KawaTora

The above back and forth isn’t totally correct. There were no new laws about slavery.

The anti-slavery party won the presidency for the first time ever, and the south preemptively rebelled before he could even take office.

The “let’s compromise with evil for peace” attitude of the time likely would have allowed slavery to continue, just prevent future states from allowing slavery.

The slave states overreacted and got burned for it. Literally.
