8 months agoThe 14th amendment in the US and the 1864 election happened in war time.
On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely were civilian areas to be hit by artillery shells and rockets during the civil war?
Hint: the maximum range of a cannon at that time was barely a mile.
Sounds like an election during war time is a pretty fucking bad idea.
