[mass55th]

It's a wonder so many Pilgrims survived the voyage. I've gone to Plymouth a few times in the past, but never knew the family connection to the Mayflower. I toured Mayflower II once or twice, haven't gotten to Plimoth Plantation yet. When I was in England in 2006, on a bus tour of the British Isles, we stopped in Plymouth Harbor, and saw the spot where the Pilgrims left from. Again, I had no idea of the family connection.

It's interesting to note that for many years I researched the 55th Massachusetts Infantry while I was working on my thesis. I never knew it at the time, but one of the Lieutenants was a Charles Soule, and is a collateral ancestor of mine.

“Post slavery reconciliation”?

Yet another reason to only read WikiBS when all else fails.

It was Post WAR “reconciliation” which really meant total prostrate submission to absolute military tyranny, a curious thing to call “reconciliation”.
