Judging people, even your own self, by who their ancestors were is akin to racism, and un-American. Our founders gave up those pretensions to bloodline glory in 1776.
There are freepers with some CW ancestors on both sides—some who fought for the north and others for the south. They have every right to examine the history of the conflict without prejudice, and debate its lingering impacts logically and factually.
It cuts no ice here on the Forum when you use a blood libel against others or call them names like “Reb” or “Confederate” to puff up your misplaced pride. You are not your vaunted ancestor. If you must take pride, take it in how you have served the Lord with your own life. Such as your demonstrable humility.
“Blood libel’’? Do even know t you’re talking about?
Reb is the term I use to describe you Confederate sympathizers.
Rebs are what your ancestors and Rebs is how I will always refer to you “Confederates in the attic.
It’s a far cry from some Lost Causers who have called me thing s like “Lincoln boot licker’’.
Toughen up Reb.
Get used to it.
