Mmm, the industrial revolution. Where do I begin? I'm willin' to bet the fingers of the cotton picker are indeed thankful for such events as the inventing of the cotton gin. I gotta hand it to my boy Slater for memorizing those british factory plans and bringin 'em on over here. A fellow gunslinger known as Shootin' Steve and I met ol' Slater when he first arrived on the shores of our beautiful nation. You see there was a wild group of Injuins attacking the port where he came in and - I'll be honest - if it weren't for the slick gun slingin' skills of shootin' steve and a few lucky bullets of my own, ol' Slater woulda never made it off the boat! If he hadn't made it then America woulda been in some trouble. The introduction of factories and mass production in America greatly increased trade capabilities and also the cash flow into American wallets! Slater's legacy left a great mark on our nation.
Nation. I've been thinkin' about that word lately. Maybe it was the funny tastin' water I drank from the ol' Miss - but I coulda sworn I heard my horse ask me "Willy - What does it really mean to be a nation?" Well - without really thinkin about it - I immediately answered that there question. I said Lightning (the name of my horse), Lightning, it takes the comming together of people of all different backrounds, experiences, opinions, beliefs, and looks to form a nation. A group of people without that unity is worthless. And if that aint' whats goin on in this nation - well then you better grab your black eyed susan and ride off into the sunset - cause it just won't work.

That was very amazing indeed Mr. Willy, and I am truly satisfied with your historical accuracies and adventerous tones.
I like the dialogue you use in the blog, it makes it all the more interesting to read.
Howdy there Willy. Well I reckon you got more than a few lucky shots in. I saw you drop a Brit for a cow grazin distance. That boy Slater, so nice, he just better not steal my Sacajewea.
