Here’s my thought, following the lead of probably the second smartest citizen of Georgia of all time: Secession was stupid.

I will also have lots to say about Alexander Stephens, one of the most brilliant citizens of Georgia ever.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
