Wie Gehts Alex.
Thanks for the comment.
My GG-grandpa, an Abolitionist, sent his sons to fight against his brothers and cousins who were Confederate officers and enlisted.
“First at Bethel, Farthest to the Front at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, and Last at Appomattox”
1st North Carolina, 53rd North Carolina, 26th North Carolina, 53rd North Carolina, 18th Iowa, 30th Iowa...a lot more I don’t know about.
Confederate soldiers in my family: 190
Union soldiers in my family: 90
And that’s just the ones who share my last name. My mother’s family were pioneer Virginians and North Carolinans. And migrated to Indiana and Ohio, with similar histories.
They fought over a the status of a populace that had nothing to do with them - a principle.
Some things are always settled this way.
Only the dead have seen the end of War.
If the Left thinks they can use terrorism to impose a Communist rebellion, well then let’s just settle the issue.
It’s why we have a 2nd Amendment.
Danke der Nachfrage! (Thanks for inquiring!) Mittelmäßig! (Middling!)
Thank you for your measured response!
I admire your obvious interest in genealogy. My folks all came here after the Second War of Independence.
Any repeat (of 1861-65) would be infinitely worse than that.
