These are the same people who can’t remember the 300,000 men and boys who died to free them from slavery.

Including one of my ancestors. A second one also served, but survived. The one who died, died of typhus. His unit, a Michigan infantry regiment, was guarding a Union reserve artillery park between the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. The location is now a sub-division called “Cannon Ridge”. I doubt that many of its residents know where the name came from.
