Summary

Almost 175 years ago. Congressman Davy Crockett encountered a Massachusetts colleague in Washington. The New Englander, pointing to a farmer driving some mules along Pennsylvania Avenue, quipped, "Hello, there, Crockett, here's a lot of our constituents on parade. Where are they going?" The Tennessee frontiersman shot back, "They are going to Massachusetts to teach school."
