Against ALL wars

 Of course Jane Addams, Gentle Jane with the backbone of steel, and I were against the war. Against all wars. Including wars long forgotten. The Spanish American War? Where did the name come from? I always fought for fair conditions for the workers making the uniforms, when the mania of war took over.

Ink drawing by John T. McCutcheon titled The Harvest Moon in Fodderland, depicting groups of deceased World War 1 soldiers made to look like haystacks in the moonlight. 60,000 dead in the Spanish American War.[1] WWI soldier casualties were ~15M, and the Spanish Influenza that followed claimed 17-25M lives.[2]
