The grave of a man who bankrolled the Confederate side in the American civil war, and ended up costing the British government £3.3m in compensation to the victorious north, has been tracked down in a patch of brambles in a London cemetery.
Charles Kuhn Prioleau, a cotton merchant born in Charleston, South Carolina, was based in Liverpool during the war, from 1861 to 1865. He disappeared from history in a bonfire of company records and correspondence after his firm went bankrupt, having sent supplies, funds, and blockade-busting ships to the Confederates.
But his mortal remains have now been traced to Kensal Green cemetery by a US academic who is gradually unearthing the almost forgotten story of Confederate support in England, which takes in the highest ranks of British politics and society.

1.the book says precisely what i said it does,
2. that both "Nonstick" & "Bubba, the LIAR" say that they HAVE copies,
3.that you have NOT asked them to post the TRUTH
and
4. that i do NOT have a copy & have been unable to get a copy through ILL.
as usual, you are just running your mouth & looking STUPID, PREJUDICED & IGNORANT.

BIG BUMP
i'll try to drive to Dallas's public library, borrow their copy, make copies of the relevant pages & (the next day i have time); post them here.
when i DO, are you willing to:
a. ADMIT to everyone here that you are BOTH a BIGOT & a KNOWING LIAR,
2.resign from FR & apologize to everyone here for being a VULGAR-talking, ignorant,prejudiced, stupid, LOUT
&
3. promise that you will NEVER, for any reason whatever, return or attempt to return to this forum under ANY screen-name, EVER???
note to all: that would be worth going out of my way to do (including taking off from my regular family responsibilities for). it's a five hour trip to Dallas from here, one way.

I take it that you agree that new York and Virginia retain the right to leave the union when they themselves find that certain opressive conditions exist. These measures were part of thief ratifying documents, thanks to none other than Patrick Henry.
Where’s the book, Mortie?
A new one! Gee, I can't remember the last time you posted an original lie on one of these threads - that 100,000 to 150,000 free black confederate nonsense is getting soooo old. But now we have an entire regiment of New Jersey soldiers fighting for the rebs. So tell us, Mort, under what designation did they fight? Where they the 1st New Jersey Confederate Volunteers? Or did they go under another name?
to paraphrase an old grad school prof of mine: NOTHING in history is simple, except to simpletons.
And I wonder what he'd think today, knowing that the biggest simpleton on FR is paraphrasing him?
whatever else we southrons are, it is NOT "revisionist".
Revisionists generally cling to a grain of truth. What you are are bullsh*t artists.
He will if you will.
Nikas777, let me introduce you to the one, the only stand watie (don't capitalize his name, it's an Indian thing we just wouldn't under stand) who his known to his many friends and admirers as the Mortimer Snerd of the Southron cause. If an actual, verifiable fact ever made it into one of his posts then it was by accident.
Central Library on the 8th Floor, History and Social Sciences section. They have one copy on the shelves. Let us know when you have it.
First I have heard such a clause - but sure If those clauses are in there then so be it. Of course the Federal govt is know for honoring treaties with sovereign nations - just ask the Indians......
let me introduce you to Non-Sequitur, the "Dear leader" & "Minister of DAMNyankee Propaganda".
"Mr Minister" is well known on FR as being our "expert on everything" (which generally means upon nothing.) & chief of the "DAMNyankee Coven of Lunatics, fools, BIGOTS, nitwits, south-HATERS & antisemites".
he IS intelligent & reasonably well-educated, as he has an earned graduate degree (MBA) & therefore can be rightly considered (unlike most of his "followers" & "yes-men") to be completely LITERATE.
otoh,in his eyes, NOTHING ever done by any southerner, at any time since The Creation, is worthy/decent/moral/reasonably intelligent & EVERYTHING ever done in history by any DAMNyankee is never, in any way, LESS THAN PERFECT.
the main reason that he despises me is that i frequently remind him/everyone on FR of:
a. the LIES,VULGARITY,MEAN-spiritedness,BIGOTRY (and sometime overt racism), DISHONESTY & general immorality displayed by "his troops"
b. the basic FOOLISHNESS of his beliefs in the "all powerful, completely just and perfect" DAMNyankees.

Where’s the book, Mortie?
also, when are you going to toss "rockrr, the VULGAR-talking, bigoted, LOUT" out of "the DAMNyankee coven"??? (i'd bet that you wouldn't want him around your mother/wife/sister/daughter & talking like he routinely does here on FR.)

And on another thread you had talked about heading to the Dallas library and checking to see if it was there. Well it is; Central Library, 8th Floor, History and Social Sciences Section. Go get it, Mort, and prove us all wrong. Or else go away and stop bothering people with your neverending lies.
you KNOW that i'm being truthful. = you may as well admit that YOU LIED about what Blackerby's book says, as most everyone KNOWS that you "lie like a rug", when it suits your radical/REVISIONIST/political agenda.
btw & speaking of LIES, where is "bubba, the LIAR"??? is he perchance on a "enforced vacation" AGAIN, courtesy of "the moderators"??? (he admitted to me that he had been BANNED FOREVER & "came back" as a different screen-name, with the same old tired/weird notions, prejudices & LIES.)
free dixie,sw
one wonders if those two clowns have joined the ranks of the other two dozen or so DYs who have been BANNED FOREVER from FR???
free dixie,sw
Duh who?
The truth never is high on your list, is it?
you KNOW that i'm being truthful.
I have yet to see you truthful about anything.
= you may as well admit that YOU LIED about what Blackerby's book says, as most everyone KNOWS that you "lie like a rug", when it suits your radical/REVISIONIST/political agenda.
Name a page, name a paragraph, and I'll scan it and post it because I've got the book. As for you? You've never read it; probably have never even seen it.
