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.

My 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.

My wife is a member of The Daughters of the Confederacy as well as a member of The Huguenot Society of America, on her mother's side.

I had a family member survive Fort Douglass ... one of seven in my tree who fought against the Yankees, including three that died in that war.

The yankees were murdering, looting, arsonists, 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 .... he's burning in hell now.

Which is why Ohio is now suffering under Uncle Billy's Curse and why so many Ohio people are now escaping to here ... unfortunately.

There's been a number of books written about Sherman's crimes against humanity, and tons of newspaper articles from all over the country at the time they occurred, documenting what transpired.

Sherman is burning in hell.

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.

A long time ago, our country had a big, sad fight called the Civil War. People argued for many years about whether states could leave the big family of America. Good people on both sides disagreed.

They absolutely all thought they could when we were founded, most of the colonies would've never joined in the first place if they thought they couldn't leave.

The north was just stronger and refused to allow the south self-determination so here we are.

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.

People also seem to forget Lee was loyal to Virginia where his entire family lived. Had Virginia stayed in the Union he would have served the Union army. He refused to take up arms against his family and friends

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.

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.
