I would presume that j harold was mistaken and that the s.c. delegate was indeed name rutlege. Randolph, Bland, Lee, Ruffin and Bennett families are related through marriages dating back to the mid 17th century Va.
Since I enjoy throwing out the cork and seeing what will bite, disregarding the senseless violence, does anyone see a parallel between the Rev. War and perhaps - Vietnam and our current Mideast conflict. Just wanting to know if anyone who has studied/read Rev. War literature has come to see any similarities.
Strangely, I thought I saw what might be parallels between the Continental Congress's debates to declare independence and separate from England with the South's various state meetings to secede from the Union. The discussions and debates just had to have had similarities, especially after hostilities broke out at Fort Sumter.
I also can easily imagine that the continum of those who wanted nothing of secession, to the fence-sitters to the hot heads wanting war "right now" would have been a very similar continuum seen in the Continental Congress.
