Good morning, Whitewater
There are no public meetings listed for the City of Whitewater today. There will be others later this week; you’ll not go too very long without public regulation of your productive, private activity.
On this day in 1846, Congress granted President Polk’s request for a declaration of war against Mexico. Many prominent Americans, including Lincoln and John Quincy Adams, opposed the war.
It’s worth noting that their dissent from a generally popular American action was honorable; it’s also worth noting that the war ended in 1848.
