His ancestor might’ve been one of those poor ignorant Irish or German immigrants straight off the boat, my ancestors felt bad about having to shoot them, said those boys were being used as cannon fodder. It got so prevalent at one point they were convinced they were fighting Hessian mercenaries again, just like their grandfathers and great grandfathers had in the Revolution. Just another myth of The Great White North, I suppose. Why, of course we weren’t blowing illiterate Irish and German peasants to smithereens in our place in order to fight the war that our banksters demanded be fought.
No mine were literate God fearing people who had skills. Not ignorant racists who felt it proper to own human being.
