Hi.
Off topic, kinda...
History tends to hyhme. For example the population of the U.S. were divided into three factions in 1860. Those who opposed slavery, those who were for slavery and those who didn’t care.
Same mindset in 1775. For the Crown, against the Crown and those who didn’t care.
Teach, have you ever heard of the Battle of Athens TN? Circa 1946.
