Very interesting.  Amazing they could do it so easily after all those years.
"Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses" ~Juvenal

Very interesting.

In the Ken Burns series on the Civil War there is a scene about a reunion long after the war ended of Blue and Gray veterans.   In this scene one of the Confederate veterans teases a Union veteran with a soto voice yell that I believe is a softly uttered Rebel yell.
