RE: Reparations were paid by Union soldiers in the Civil War.
Right.
My great, great grandfather is buried in Port Austin, Michigan with a G.A.R. medal on his headstone. He volunteered to fight for the Union and made it back alive after four of the biggest battles in the war. My real first and middle names are named in honor of him. May he Rest In Peace.
He gave at the “office.”
Good post 👍
