Mr. Evans first learned of the difference between tyranny and freedom in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, as a soldier in the U.S. Army. He came away from that war, a changed man, with a new perspective on God, country, and apple pie. In the year 2000 he began doing research into the origins of the AIDS virus, and found that one conspiratorial door leads to another. He spent years researching the cattle mutilations of the 1970s, bioweapons research, and crimes committed against the people of the U.S. by our own intelligence communities. In the year 2006 he stumbled upon the debate about the ratification of the original 13th amendment. After years of intense research, and clearly establishing that no book had ever been written on this subject in the history of the United States, he rolled up his sleeves, and was determined to find a truthful answer to the ratification dilemma, and publish a book about its history.
