re: Larry David discovers he had slave owning and Confederate ancestors

We have a lot of old family wills where slaves and their "forward" were mentioned. Sometimes I really wish my ancestors would have just picked their own damn cotton.

The same ex wife that spread her legs for al gore?

The Blacks have starting shite against LD since they moved in with him.

This would make one helluva funny episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm if he could put aside his leftist politics and have fun with it.

His shows are pretty self-deprecating. It sounds like exactly the type of episode he would create.

My great great great grandfather owned over 100 slaves and owned the Destrehan plantation. He had 11 of them heads cut off and put on a pike on the ms river after a slave revolt. Then in his final will he freed them all and instructed them all to receive a parcel of land but the courts struck it down. His nephew also owned a plantation that he lost in the civil war after he became financially ruined trying to fund the war. The state took his land around Baton Rouge and built what is known today as Louisiana State University.

I know, CSB

Don't feel bad, Larry. Here is the slave schedule from the 1860 census listing my great-great-grandfather (Spencer M. Bankston) and two of my great-great-great uncles (Willis and George Bankston) and the number of slaves that they owned. See? I'm not ashamed!

HE WAS BEING AFFABLE!!!

Sucks your peeps were too poor to afford any slaves, baw

What these idiots don't realize is by the time you go back that far you have 64 or 128 direct ancestors so you probably had some of everything, just like everybody else.

Considering the fact that General Grant issued is infamous Order Number 11 it isn't hard to see why a large number of Jews picked up arms for the confederacy.

General Order Number 11 said:

"1. The Jews, as a class, violating every regulation of trade established by the Treasury Department, and also Department orders, are hereby expelled from the Department. Within twenty-four hours from the receipt of this order by Post Commanders, they will see that all of this class of people are furnished with passes and required to leave, and any one returning after such notification, will be arrested and held in confinement until an opportunity occurs of sending them out as prisoners unless furnished with permits from these Head Quarters. No permits will be given these people to visit Head Quarters for the purpose of making personal application for trade permits. BY ORDER OF MAJ. GEN. U.S. GRANT"
