  Reconstruction would have been better for the South if Lincoln hadn't been assassinated.
  
  Dred Scott. John Brown. The compromise of 1850. Chief Justice Taney. Sometimes I miss school!
  
  Good luck!

  Let's try not to get upset.

  Proctor: All right, here's your last question. What was the cause of the Civil War?
  
  Apu: Actually, there were numerous causes. Aside from the obvious schism between the abolitionists and the anti-abolitionists, there were economic factors, both domestic and inter--
  
  Proctor: Wait, wait... just say slavery.
  
  Apu: Slavery it is, sir.

  One economic tidbit:
  
  The terrible depression of 1857 was very destructive to lives in the North. Imagine thousands New Yorkers howling in the street for bread! (recall "Gangs of New York" from this period) The South didn't suffer at all during this depression, leading some to declare the southern economy immune to the excesses in the North. The idea of "King Cotton" arose. Perhaps this planted the idea that they could survive and thrive on their own.
  
  Here a pre-war token
  
  
  
  The widespread production of Civil War tokens began around this time 150 years ago in Cincinnati with die maker John Stanton seeing the need and demand.

  It would be interesting to have both Abe lincoln and Jeff Davis take that test......<<<<probably THE most booooring way to learn "history". Acts and battles and blah blah blah. If you want to learn history read autobiographies and diaries. History is a study of a mindset...that's all.

  I don't see any quarters posted yet. You might notice that the slab looks a bit strange. This one fell on top of an electric baseboard while I was photographing a group of coins about 10 years ago. I found out the hard way that slabs have a fairly low melting point. Fortunately, I now live in a warmer climate.

  Not a coin but ...
  
  
  
  And here is a rare medalet that gives us of view of General Joseph "Fighting Joe" Hooker. Legend has that his name gave us a popular term for the "oldest profession" because ladies who practiced it followed his camp during the war.
  
  

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  Hmmm. Looks like 1861 is the most popular year.

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
