My great-great grandfather(my mothers side) served in The Army Of The Potomac, 1864-65. I was born and raised in the northeastern New Jersey town of Kearny. Named for it’s most famous local son Union General Phil Kearny. Guess that makes me a Yankee.
I was also born in NE NJ, now live in PA but have lived, worked or traveled in nearly every state and have relatives scattered all across the country, about half in the South.
Today my Southern born mother lies in PA beside my PA born father, both patiently waiting the day of resurrection.
From all I know that pro-Confederates who post their Civil War lies here do not represent a majority, but rather just the last of the old Southern Democrats, the Dixiecrats.
They hate old Republicans and new Democrats equally, and it just frosts them that nobody today is buying their nonsense.
But we do take them seriously, especially since some may well be my in-laws, and we want to keep peace in the family.
