drag up an ammo box, sit down, converse, learn, enjoy & contribute. it's a GOOD thing to get some new blood over here.
sorry about the MISspelling of "original". the spell-checker didn't pick that one up & i didn't re-proofread.
1. i didn't say that you thought anything at all about Grant. i just find it interesting/ironic that LEE was a committed ABOLITIONIST & that GRANT was a SLAVEOWNER & OVERSEER, especially given the constantly repeated REVISIONIST lie that the war was a "crusade against slavery".
2. Nate Forrest was both a slave owner & slave trader BUT he was NOT the founder of the KKK, despite what is frequently said of him. actually he was BRIEFLY one of the first members, but VERY PUBLICALLY resigned his membership when it became obvious to him that the KKK was NOT going to be a guerrilla group, which would continue the fight for dixie freedom.
3 & 4. sorry, but i am away from home (taking care of sick folks in my family) & my library & thus cannot comply with your wishes at this time. (send me a private missive with snailmail address & i'll send you a couple of pounds of copies from our tribal records & other original source documents concerning the rampage of the lincoln coven & the union army against asians,blacks,catholics,hispanics,indians,jews & "muddy coloured people" (like me for instance) by sherman's troop of WAR CRIMINALS. i'm working on a book on precisely that subject, which i hope to have out in the spring/summer of 05.)
