[Colonel Kangaroo]

Assasination was too often standard operating procedure for the Democratic/Confederates of the era. Presley Yates, a delegate from Catoosa County Georgia was shot in the head for having the audacity to uphold the will of his constituents by voting against secession at the corrupt Georgia secession convention.

From Confederate intimidation in the 1860s to the New Black Panther Party today, Democrats have had a history of sometimes playing rough with elections and the political process.

Thanks for posting this instance of post-Civil War depredations.

You might also find the Wilmington, North Carolina “race riot” or coup d’etat of 1898 interesting.

This shameless blog pimp is annoying in the extreme and is here to advance his career at our expense. He offers no insights of his own, merely redirects to his blog ... which frankly, is amateurish and vulgar. Look at his posting record...the titles are all his constant anti-southern diatribes and his comments are the same...if incessant links and shameless huckstering for his “book” and his “blog” can be considered comments. His relentless attacks on the South, sweeping generalizations and references to the south and to the people of the south are both sickening and anathema to those of us who were born in the south and support our constitution and the hope for a free republic.

Why do you write about yourself in the third person on your profile page?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
