Sorry in advance for getting a little PM on you!. First, it's a damn good speech, which is something we certainly lack with out current crop of "leaders!." However, why it is sigificant!. It is only significant because we chose to make it so!. The event had little impact on people at the time!. The events that came later, civil rights and reconstruction, is what makes it significant to us!. Like most things historical, it is significant becuase we choose to make it so!. No, I don't hate history!. I actually went to graduate school for it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
