    Every other line in this show is just brilliant: "Spoken modestly, God help us."

Its not Treason to leave the Union by vote like the South did and dont give me the bull the War was about Slavery, if it was there wouldnt of been a need for the Underground RR to go all the way to Canada or West Virginia wouldnt of been admitted into the Union in 1863 as a Slave state and the Northern Army would of freed captured slaves instead of putting them to work, lastly Lincolns Inaugural address clearly stated he wouldnt interfere with the institution of slavery, but if you want to believe the your 7th grade social studies teacher over a 6 year college student in History the choice is yours.

    Adams: Franklin, wake up. We're going to New Brunswick.
    Franklin: Like hell I am. What for?
    Hopkins: The whoring and the drinking!
    (Franklin jumps up quickly)
