This was around the time the republicans called themselves “progressive” because of the first civil rights movement.
LOL!!! Cruel, grotesquely unjust irony.
I’m sure the democrats buried around him are having the last laugh as they continue to vote.
Oh the Democratic Party
Is the very one that enslaves you
It fights for all the lazy people

Will never be brought to trial
Oh the Democratic Party
Hates America of that there is no denial
Counting backward, it looks like Lieutenant Grigsby was born in late 1811, which would have made him a mature man of 49 at the war’s outbreak.

The script is written, now being acted out.......???

49 year old a rare bird for the Civil War.
Not a one in a million....but still few. A bit over 10,000 Union troops over the age of 45 in one 400,000 muster roll sample.

In the border states especially, it was not uncommon for Dad to go to war leaving their married sons to tend he farm. My family was that way on both the Union and Confederate side.
As a father, I can say that makes a great deal of sense to me. As some one over 45 who works with 20 year olds—I can also say that working with people who think they are immortal would make accomplishing the task easier.
Little did he know that his message would one day be put on something called the internet, and then be seen across the world.
Actually, the ‘warning’ is far more true today, than it was in the early 1800’s - the antebellum Democrats could be described as the party of limited federal government, and strict constitutional construction...
