We have given already. Enough.
Yeah, mine fought with a NY regiment in nearly every major civil war battle but I read secret diaries that they just wanted to beat the south so they could confiscate the slaves for themselves. NOT! I guess abolitionists don’t count huh?
My ancestors fought for the South, I was born during WWII in a South Carolina county that was still far from recovering from the “civil” war and reconstruction. We have also given enough already. I don’t know a single black person who carries my surname or my mother’s maiden name so apparently my family did not consist of rich plantation owners with a lot of slaves. My grandfather owned a lot of farm land but he bought it with the earnings from being a house builder, it was not inherited plantation land. My great grandfather was a Confederate soldier but he certainly was not a slave owner.
