as far as i know you DID post everything sent to you in violation of my CONSENT.I gave you warning that I'd post your messages if you persisted. You persisted. I posted. Too bad they embarrassed you.
my correspondents think you're a DUNCE & a TROLL,
Absent proof of their existence, your correspondents are widely considered figments of your imagination, just like the U-boat in the Galveston park.
So when are we going to hear from your friend who is going to explain why the historical marker in Alexandria is wrong?

He said - AMAZINGLY - that the History Channel told about how Sherman basically MASS MURDERED the blacks who tried to follow him out of Savannah; and what an incredible racist Sherman was. I did see it, and I have no idea what channel your friend was watching but it wasn't the History Channel.
Not very surprising that Lincoln was admired by the two greatest tyrants in the history of the world - Marx and Hitler - is it?
He was also admired by great men like Ronald Reagan, Theodore Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill. Who the hell ever admired a POS like Jefferson Davis?

i was NOT embarrassed by YOU, dunce. you embarrassed yourself, TROLL! further, YOU ruined whatever little positive reputation you ever had.
NOBODY that i know of thinks at this point that you're honest,sincere,honorable,well-meaning,decent and/or SMART.most seem just think you're a CREEP.
you should note that NOBODY (not even "Mr SPIN" the BIGOT or "ftd" the NITWIT), has "come running" to you defense.) they just think you're a TROLL, who has NOTHING of importance to say on FR & who is a DISGRACE to FR.
imVho, you are also PROBABLY "the BIGOT heyworthLESS" (i wish i could PROVE that you are him.), who was banned FOREVER for posting racist bilge, stupidity, hatefulness,KNOWING LIES,libel, nonsense & for his overall DIShonesty. fyi, "heyworthLESS" is missed by NOBODY, not even by the DYs.

in point of fact, your posts get LESS intelligent every day. PITY. (i used to think your posts were worthy of responding to.)
NOW i just laugh AT most of them as NEEDLESS blather, deceit (that wouldn't fool a 2YO) & outright nonsense.

In Memory of the Gallant Southern Soldiers who died defending their Constitutional Rights!
And congratulations to the North for winning! Why doesn’t anybody ever give credit where credit is due. I think both sides had positives and negatives, but it seems that the North gives the credit to the South and the South NEVER recognizes that the North won...why is that???
To: napscoordinator
"naps", let me take a shot at that one.
actually, i personally know of NOT EVEN ONE person over the age of 10, who doesn't know that the unionists( i.e., lincoln, the TYRANT's, side), won the war.
as far as i know that is NOT & never has been the issue since 1865.
what IS at issue is:
1. the DISHONESTY of lincoln & his merry band of thugs (who were, imVho, PERSONALLY responsible for the needless DEATH of a MILLION Americans),
2.whether lincoln deserves to be remembered as a TYRANT/WAR CRIMINAL or as a POTUS, and
3. what , if anything, should be done to remember the deeds of the heroes/martyrs of BOTH sides (which has not already been done), including the remembrance of the THOUSANDS of:
a. slaughtered, innocent dixie civilians &
b.countless THOUSANDS of CSA prisoners, who "mysteriously disappeared", while in federal captivity.

To: stand watie
in point of fact, your posts get LESS intelligent every day. PITY. (i used to think your posts were worthy of responding to.) And yet here you are, responding again, saying nothing of value. I've lost count of the number of times you've been caught in another barefaced lie, and can't recall a single time you were factually correct.

I realize that the North won, but other than ending slavery, I see zero positives to that victory.
Let’s examine some of the outcomes:
1. Government of the STATES, (Each state being a sovereign entity, etc.) GONE, and replaced with a centralized, all-powerful Federal Government.
2. The South being so devestated, that it took 130 years or so to recover.
3. The flower of youth of BOTH sides gone.
4. Un-Ending emnity between races, and even sectional in some cases.
Just to name four.............

Who the hell ever admired a PositveOptomisticStatesman like Jefferson Davis?
I do. I, like Shelby Foote, find Jefferson Davis to be a kind, warm, and thoughtful person. Clearly the opposite of his enemies views of him. Like most people he had his weak spots. One of the things I like most about him was the fact he was not a politician, he would not log roll. I have spent hours flow charting a histo-novel about his life. It is tentatively called "The President and Mrs. Davis". I hope to shine the light on him as a person, a husband, a father, and a patriot as well as the similarities and differences between him and Lincoln. Not as the reluctant leader of the little nation that hardly had a chance.

He said - AMAZINGLY - that the History Channel told about how Sherman basically MASS MURDERED the blacks who tried to follow him out of Savannah; and what an incredible racist Sherman was. I knew that Sherman ALLOWED the blacks to drown in the Savannah. I didnt know that he actually had the bridge cut, CAUSING them to drown.
Your friend is inaccurate as to the content of the show. And for all Sherman's faults on that march, it is wrong to say he allowed them to drown. The bridge was cut and pulled over. But the slaves were not on it at the time. They jumped into the creek on their own accord and the show, bore this out. Also Slocum's men did try to save as many as they could. My sentiments lay with the South but this part of history is fairly clear. Yes Sherman was a racist but no more than most people were then, in fact less than most Yankee's were.

First, don't put words in my mouth. I certainly would never describe Davis as positive or optimistic. Fanatical and narrow-minded, perhaps. Certainly the one man most responsible for the death of the confederacy. But that's about it.
Second, if you do your novel about Davis and his wife be sure to include the estrangement between the two that dated from the mid-1860s and lasted until his death.

Checked Arkansas and I.T. But then again like anything else with Heritage Quest,Ancestry, etc. transcription errors are possible. (both enumerator and computer tech).
AB, have you ever used the Find a Grave web site? Surprisng how many burials they have documented, and almost a sure bet that anyone will find at least one ancestor grave photo there. Pretty neat stuff. I think I will share it when I teach my genealogy class tonight.

You mean my guess as to what you meant was WRONG. 8^) Those traits in Davis were faults in his case, he carried them to far. Probably from dealing, or in his case not dealing with the death of his first wife. Don't worry about the other part, I am under no delusion that if I finish it, it would be published.

you've been a drinker of the DAMNyankee kool-aide for so long that you wouldn't know TRUTH, if you were hit with a dump-truck load.
PITY that you've finally "gone off the deep end" & have bypassed/lost your hold on REALITY.
otoh, you COULD (i guess) be "playing to your public", as the members of "The DAMNyankee coven of useful idiots, creeps,lunatics, fools, bigots & at least ONE racist" are without exception:
ignorant, mostly UNeducated,SELF-righteous,filled with HATE & PREJUDICE, sanctimonious & just plain DUMB.

Find a grave is pretty amazing, I’ve used it a lot. Found my great grandmothers grave that way actually.
You teach a genealogy class? How exciting! I’m so hooked, it can be an obsession. :<)

Indeed, I did. In fact, I’ve read several of your posts on this thread. And as one damn-fool, self-righteous, proud YANKEE, to one fascinating JOHNNY REB, I’d like to welcome you to 2007. The last several years have provided us with quite a lesson. We saved the Union once, and you crazy Rebs are trying to save it now in a much subtler fashion. Best of luck to you, never thought I’d be thanking the south for anything, but here we are.
