was the wealthiest state in the nation as the Civil War approached. Yet that wealth was not anywhere near equally distributed. Indeed, it was primarily located near the rivers and railroads, and depended upon both for access to the other regions of the country. And this is just for starters ......and will set the tone for more to come.

The Irish-Catholic immigrants of the north won the war. But you know that.
