No one in America today personally had anything to do with enslaving black people

I had two great-great-grandfathers who fought in the G.A.R., two great-great Uncles who made the ultimate sacrifice; and my wife had a great-grandfather who survived Andersonville and another great-great grandfather wounded at Gettysburg.

We've done our share.

I had them on both sides.

The West (by GOD) Virginia side of the family tried like hell to kill everybody on the (piedmont) Virginia side of the family.

We don’t try to kill each other any more, but we still don’t trust those damn, uppity, flatlanders!
