Last week, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that those who don't take the radical Islamist terrorist threat as seriously as the Bush administration does suffer from a "moral and intellectual confusion." He compared them to the British appeasers of Hitler before World War II. I did a left-wing radio call in show after the speech in which the callers accused Mr. Rumsfeld of calling them pro- Nazi for opposing President Bush on the war. Of course, Mr. Rumsfeld was suggesting no such thing. But it is worth reviewing the history and meaning of appeasement both for those who hurl the charge and for those who are charged.

Alan Stuart Hanckel surely deserves it, if only for his part in the so-called Trent Affair. Hanckel was born in Charleston, S.C., in 1837. He married Charlotte Heyward, but she died in 1860.
During the course of the Civil War, Niagara County sent about 8,000 men off to war, a number representing nearly 16 percent of the county's 1860 population. Those left behind also had their own important jobs supporting the war effort. May 15, 1861, saw the organization of the Continental Company. This company, composed of men older than 45 and ineligible for duty in the regular army, was formed for the protection of Lockport and the surrounding area.
