So...you were proud of the fact that you could have a Confederate relative UNTIL, you found out that he was in fact a Unionist.
Sounds kinda two-faced to me NS.
I found out that US Grant was an Uncle. That didn’t make ME want to go out and disavow my Confederate relatives!
Never said I wasn't proud of him. He was murdered by a band of thugs for supporting his country. Very typical of the rebel leaders of the time.
