"In the last 4000 years of history,  there have been but  268 years entirely free from war."

Coronet

Painting on top: "Study for the Rescue of the Colors," 1899 by William T. Trego (1859-1909) - whose work  was on exhibit at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania - from June 4th till October 2, 2011.

Questions: At this time we are not only looking at the War of 1812 [200 years], but we also keeping in mind the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.  Have you done any reading or attended any reenactments or presentations on either of these wars that took place on our soil.

Looking at the quote for today, what's your take on it? Is it correct? What was considered a war? Could there have been a power grab and some big time infighting in some place in China or Africa or South America that was never recorded in written history?

What about family wars and fights?
