We had a long, and, I need hardly say, a most interesting conversation. We talked about the war and the foreign prospects of the Confederacy, and the atrocities which the Yankees seem to delight in committing whenever they have a chance.

Total War in Georgia
In June 1863, Fitzgerald Ross, a British military man who was collecting information about the war in America, paid a visit to Richmond, Virginia, the capital city of the Confederacy. There he met with some high officials of the government, one of whom was Secretary of State Judah P. Benjamin. Ross described their meeting his 1865 book A Visit to the Cities and Camps of the Confederate States:

Here in Georgia we have not forgotten Kerosene Billy. The next time the invaders come, Southern hospitality will be much different.
ReplyDeleteThe 2020 election by the Georgia people tells you something. Union Soldier must have impregnated alot of southern peaches.
DeleteHave you heard the accents throughout most of the South these days? They already came.
DeleteI do believe that it is entirely possible that President Lincoln was not as altruistic and many have made him out to be.
ReplyDeleteAre you just realizing that? He was a monster.
DeleteSo, the south starts a war with the US and are surprised when they reap - war!

Actually the north started it by seizing Fort Sumpter (state property), and occuping it.
DeleteSouth Carolina turned over ownership to the federal government in 1805 of all forts. They were costly to maintain. Ft. Sumpter was constructed beginning in 1836 on a sandbar in the river. Rock was hauled from New England for that purpose.
DeleteFt Sumpter began as a federal installation and was never owned by the state or any individual.
People need to wake up and realise that the Civil War was democrats refusing to accept election results just like in 2016. This time though they were too chickenshit to start another war and instead resorted to underhanded tactics to steal the 2920 election.
You're a fucking idiot, a perfect example of a teacher's union edumacation
DeleteIt started out as a war among soldiers, and turned into a war on civilians.
Delete"Rock was hauled from New England for that purpose." I smell boondoglery...
@JeremyR: "People need to wake up and realise that the Civil War was democrats refusing to accept election results"
DeleteThe Civil War was a lot of things that had been building since pretty much the founding of the country, and which had accelerated considerably in the 20 years or so before everything went hot. Four states didn't even join the Confederacy until after Ft. Sumter, when Lincoln called for troops to invade the South, so his election wasn't really the motivator there - it was his actions.
Most yankees today know nothing but lies about the War of Northern Aggression
ReplyDeleteMost southerners know nothing but lies about the War of Southern Hubris.
DeleteSome say we fought on the wrong side in WWII as well.
ReplyDeleteIt would be helpful if people would learn to spell the name correct - Sumter, not Sumpter.
