My great-great-grandfather died fighting in the War to End Slavery. What do I and his other descendants get in reparations?
Exactly.
One of my great-great Grandfathers is buried at Andersonville Prison, where he died of starvation after being captured.
There’s your damned reparations!
My great-great grandfather was a Rebel in the War of
Northern Aggression. - HE owned NO SLAVES. (It was NOT a
war to do anything but bully the South back into the Union
for economic reasons.)
LINCOLN did not have to have that war. Modern inventions
were coming not long into the future that would have “freed”
the slaves without all the BLOODSHED. And there WAS blood
shed by BOTH sides. My family did not worship at the altar
of Lincoln like ya’ll do. (He pulled some illegal and
brutal stuff in order to “keep the Union”.)
THE SOUTH HAD A LEGAL RIGHT TO REMOVE ITSELF FROM THE
“UNION”. - Before you go getting all uppity; my father was
a combat veteran of WWII in N. Africa, Italy & Germany. -
Lincoln’s motives had a lot to do with the almighty dollar
and the use of the South for gain.
WE have also paid through our noses for “reparations” to
blacks with our blood, sweat and tears in taxes. (Oh,
another thing, plenty of you Northerners “owned” blacks,
too.)
