Subject: Boycott (not a flame... *really* :-).

My memory of jr. High/High School history is fading.

What I do remember is that the term boycott came into use around the
turn of the last century, Maybe as late as the 1920's It was first
applied to a protest organized by (or was it against?) a man named
Samual Boycott. I don't remember what was being protested or why.
Anyone got a kid in Jr High. It's probably still in the text books...
