Why does this “story” read like advertising for a new brand of whisky?
On my bucket list for things to worry about when I don’t have anything to worry about.
Slavery was mostly dying by the time the Civil War started.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans died to put a final answer to the question of slavery.
After the war, many blacks and whites lived and worked together (as indicated in this article).
The Democrats killed Reconstruction.
The Democrats started the KKK.
The Democrats started Jim Crow.
The Democrats promised “segregation forever”.
The Democrats tried (and failed) to block the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
But, in spite of the Democrats’ best efforts, when I was growing up, blacks were starring on TV and in movies, no laws barred them from anywhere, and no one I knew ever used the n-word. I had black friends in HS and in college. It was no big deal.
And then the Democrats came roaring back with “Identity Politics” and kicked off what has amounted to a Race War in this country.
Worst racial situation in the US since about 1859 in my opinion. The last 30 years or so have been a steep, steep decline. Totally the fault of the Democrats.
Sounds to me, like they are trying to make something out of nothing.
Interesting. I don’t recall it being mentioned on our tour back in the 1990’s. We live prob about 75 miles away. All the little shops in town sell anything and everything related to Jack Daniels. Once, I drove up with the kids and had the “holiday” meal at Miss Mary Bobo’s for lunch one Thanksgiving week for something different/interesting on a school day off.
I’ll only drink the Old No. 7. Once somebody bought the green label stuff . . . YUCK.
His contributions are mentioned in the distillery tour. Done.
Hidden? I’d heard about him may times and he was in a lot of the old pictures of JD employees. And I’m not an expert, though I have helped their bottom line quite a bit!
Roosevelt aide Clark Clifford was on a train in America during the war with Churchill when cocktail hour came around and Clifford offered Churchill some whiskey.
An alarmed Churchill said “That’s not whiskey, that’s BOURBON!”
The train was stopped and a case of actual whiskey was found...
Uncle Nearest Whiskey? I like Jack’s, so when I do see it I’ll try it...
SJWs don’t drink whiskey so them trying to boycott Jack Daniels over something like this is like a neutered dog trying to screw a pissed off barn cat.
