The highest-ranking Irishman to serve in the US Civil War was Patrick Cleburn, born in Killumney (Co. Cork) in 1828, died at the battle of Franklin on Nov. 30, 1864. He rose from private to general. Nothing to commemorate him in his birthplace?
“Irish town refuses to remove Confederate plaque
I’ll bet BLM and Antifa are already sending a bunch of angry Negros to pick a fight over this ...
... with the Irish ..”
They will regret it.
Good for them.
You and Michelle Obama - never missing an opportunity to slander American patriots.
Does your disapproval for hiring practices extend to other US presidents who employed slave labor? Would that Include George Washington?
My post 12 did not express approval or disapproval; I simply asked a question. I didn't think there would be anything wrong asking a question.
Reread my post in its entirety:
‘Didn't the Lincoln administration use rented slave labor to construct part of the U.S. Capitol during the war to “free the slaves”. Hopefully someone that knows more about history than I do can comment.’
Thank you
Your posting history precedes you.
“Your posting history precedes you.”
Regardless, how did my post 12 slander an American patriot?
Please explain.
Well sure ‘n’ begorrah the Paddies are having none of it! “Touch the fecking statue an’ yer dead boyo. History DOES make for strange bed fellows.
Never mind that Ibrahim Halawa guy, who the gay PM just lobbied Egypt to release because he’s an “Irish citizen”. The guy went down to “protest” Morsi’s ouster, i.e. cause trouble.
