Academic uncovers lost London resting place of Charles Kuhn Prioleau, and the forgotten story of Confederate support in Britain

The grave of a man who bankrolled the Confederate side in the American civil war, and ended up costing the British government £3.3m in compensation to the victorious north, has been tracked down in a patch of brambles in a London cemetery.
Charles Kuhn Prioleau, a cotton merchant born in Charleston, South Carolina, was based in Liverpool during the war, from 1861 to 1865. He disappeared from history in a bonfire of company records and correspondence after his firm went bankrupt, having sent supplies, funds, and blockade-busting ships to the Confederates.
But his mortal remains have now been traced to Kensal Green cemetery by a US academic who is gradually unearthing the almost forgotten story of Confederate support in England, which takes in the highest ranks of British politics and society.

Yeah, Watie told me a couple of years ago that “little birds” told him I was going to be banned in a month or so, like there was a waiting list or something. I’m still waiting on that one.
I’ve seen that list, his name is above yours.....
based solely on your posts, you are CRUDE, VULGAR & STUPID. you belong on DAILY KOOKS & almost any place but here.
APOLOGIZE & LEAVE, PLEASE.

i see that you really aren't banned. PITY.

No
free dixie,sw
be GONE, as DECENT people (especially ladies & children) don't want to be exposed to your STUPIDITY & arrogant VULGARITY. (i also note that when you showed up on this thread, most people LEFT. that should tell you something about how other FReepers see your moronic antics.)

It's always someone else's fault, isn't it?
I suspect that this relates to my wish list stuff predominately being out-of-print items that show up on Amazon only as independent sales, if that is the right term.
Do you have to squinch your eyes up all funny in order to view the world as twisted as you do?!
Don’t you even see that you came onto this thread and immediately became contentious and argumentative with the thread host? Can’t you even recognize that this is your approach with every thread? Either everyone sees things your way or you get belligerent.
No, I guess you don’t. And you also only see that it is everyone elses fault. And everyone but you is wrong. Poor martyred Squat2pee, my heart bleeds for you...
I don’t think Amazon’s wish list notifies you when previously unavailable items become available. It seems to be set up more like a wedding registry—just a place for you to list things you want for future reference or so that people who want to buy you a gift can see what you want.
You were notified on these boards back in July that a copy was available. Didn’t it occur to you then that Amazon might not be notifying you?
If squattie had any interest in backing up his mouth with anything other than dodges, distractions, and delusional rants he would have done so long ago.
Of course, if he was to actually tell the truth he wouldn’t be our beloved squattie, now would he?!
That explains it, then.
What the heck gives you the right to criticize me with out the courtesy of a ping so that I can defend myself?
Or to claim that I have been kicked off this site because of your actions?
Read this slowly I told you I have nothing to discuss with you and I am telling you again do not ever again attempt to say that you had me banned or that I left this forum because of you.
You are a cowardly little sycophant of a man whose sole purpose on this board is the glorification of a rebellion created to ensure slavery and it’s democrat party leadership.
I want nothing to do with you and any further attacks on me by you will be strongly protested to the management.

If they can’t find it, it usually can’t be found.
Thanks. I’ll keep them in mind.
But I did get a copy of “Blacks in Blue & Grey” from Amazon marketplace.
I’ve still not read through it in detail, but it’s in the readin’ pile.
