Lecompton, Kansas, bills itself as the political birthplace of the American Civil war. Apparently, this is because there was, at one point, a constitution for the state of Kansas, drafted at Lecompton, that would have admitted Kansas to the union as a slave state. When that was overturned, it led to strained relations between the North and South. And we all know how that turned out. I don't know. If my town were the political birthplace of the American Civil War, I'm not sure that I would be proud of it.I plumb forgot to run the extra 0.9 miles today, so I'm sitting at 1499.1 miles on my journey. Oh, well, I'll go over tomorrow.
