How Uncle Sam Behaves When His Blood Is Up
A historical synthesis from the Chicago Times-Herald tracing how the United States has declared or engaged in war from the Revolutionary era to the 19th century. It outlines five major conflicts before 1812, the causes of each, and the evolving practice of formal declarations versus congressional action. It also notes key incidents with Britain and the Barbary powers, the role of embargoes, and the impact of naval power on national resolve.

A meek boarder objects to the kitchen creation named new pie, insisting he can endure hash daily but dislikes the phrase talking hash with a new pie label. The quip is attributed to a Pick-Me-Ip style speaker.
