Hi Brian; I found my long lost little brother. The one my mother sold to raise money for my schooling. I've always felt badly about that. I lost my little brother and you lost your big brother. It's a tragic story from the Old Sod.
I was hoping that you had finally found our father. Mom told me that the last letter from him was from a brothel in Newark.
LOL! Oh the Whisky Rebellion of western Pennsylvania... Good Ol' George showed up at the head of the Army. George Washington owned the largest distillery in the country and was rich from it. He didn't want any competition from those Scots-Irish in Western PA.
The Scots-Irish knew they couldn't defeat Georgie and his Army so they set up a feast in a field with plenty of whisky. They welcomed George and his Army.
"Oh, it's all misunderstanding!" The Scots-Irish said. "Have some grub and whisky. We'll pay the tax."
George went home with his Army and the art of Moonshine Whisky was born.
My Mother's High School in Minneapolis was Patrick Henry High. My Mom is 92. She told me last week that her High School was renamed Camden High because Patrick Henry was a slave owner.
You Got This One Right!
Thanks! That may be a new reconrd!
Brian: I just upgraded to "Founding" level. Am I now a Founding Father of your site? I don't own any slaves.
Thanks but...."Founding Father"?? What did you find? What did I lose? Good decision on the slave thing...

Sadly, the search continues...Buena Suerte!
Boa Sorte!

The Founders should have banned slavery in the Revolution. Now we have to fight another one.
