How do you figure that Buchanan was a "typical southern hypocrite"?  He was born in Cove Gap, Franklin County, Pennsylvania and lived in Lancaster County, Pa. most of his life.  His estate there was called Wheatland.  Buchanan died on June 1, 1868, at the age of 77 at his home at Wheatland and was interred in Woodward Hill Cemetery in Lancaster.

Terry,

  I do not know who said this, but it was not me. Somehow, someone, copied and pasted my name to it by accident. The above mentioned quote
sounds something like Jack would say. Take it up with him.
 
Respectfully,

" The direct cause of the outbreak of the War Between The States was slavery; the direct object of the prosecution of the war was the preservation of the Union. "
