re: What Eisenhower had to say about Robert E Lee and secession.

Show me where on the doll that the Union army touched you.

Mine and my wife's family, for that matter, are old South Carolina families. 1696 for her side, (famous Charleston family), 1740s for mine ... also Charlestonians.

We grew up reading journals and diaries of our forefathers and the women in the family. We have pictures on the walls of family members who fought, and some who died, in the War of Northern Aggression.

Mt grandparents and great grandparents lived through Reconstruction. Their grandparents and great grandparents lived through the War.

So I heard a lot of stories about the yankees, growing up, and especially about what happened in Charleston and Columbia.

The yankees were murdering, arsonist, rapists, baby killers under Sherman. That's a falsifiable, proveable fact. What Sherman ordered his troops to do to women and children in Columbia alone .... wrll, he's burning in hell now.

There's been a number of books written on the events and tons of newspaper articles all over the country, from the time, documented what transpired.

Sherman is burning in hell.

But then, about twenty years ago I attended this lecture in Charleston by Walter Brian Cisco. He had just had his book published, War Crimes Against Southern Civilians. It examines atrocities committed against Southern civilians during the American Civil War.

So the answer to your question is, that's where the yankees touched me. You might say it's in my DNA. It's in my blood.

There are a lot like me .... young and old.

Oh, and it's only halftime.

Debt slaves, yeah.

Especially debt that can't be discharged in bankruptcy.

I actually mean forced sex workers and forced migrant labor.

There are considerably more of each than you might think.

I believe it.

My Son is ... spoke in NOLA a few years ago. Delivered the Henry McMaster's address at the convention as his representative.

Slavery as an institution was already on the way out by that point. It was also incorrigible.

It has been argued for some years now that there are technically more slaves in the US today than there were during the peak of the 1800s.

No, it wasn't. Plenty of historians looking at data, policy and public history have stated otherwise. You Lost Cause worshippers just don't like what they're saying.

Ya'll are legimately pissed it ended slavery.

I wish slavery would have never happened in this country.

Chadboy,
If you think that's word salad, you need to pay more attention to people in Hollywood and certain politicians nowadays who spew gibberish and you would go away hard pressed to remember a single thought they expressed.
