I do genealogy. I just got an email from a distant cousin that my great grandmother’s home was a “safe home” for Confederate spies between 1862 and 64. It was on the Kentucky river and I forget whether it was in Garrard or Jessamine County, KY. She was 14-16 and her father and two older brothers were all spies, embedded in both armies - in the Confederate Army to keep an eye on commanders and supplies and troop morale.
I was never a fan of the CSA. They always seemed like backwards, hillbilly types and slave owners who despised us Northerners.
Now I am starting the rethink this. The Civil War wasnt really about Slavery, but about states rights and unfair taxes.
Now, where do I buy my Stars and Bars? I am feeling a little rebelious these days.
