“started at 4: 30 PM. 4 Hours later there were 20,000 Casualties!!”
A dark sad fact. The horrific price that was paid and continues to be paid for slavery is an ongoing tragedy. I wish every boat was sunk before it reached Africa.
Oh, that is good.
Clearly they are reenacting the Battle of the Somme. The authenticity is chilling!
I talked with someone.
One body will contaminate a 60’ radius of water
At that time, Gettysburg had 2400 people
Between 46000 and 51000 died there.
Crews can clear about 20 men per hour.
Do the math on how long clearing those dead would have taken. Then, there’s the horses, limbs, water to clean, hospitals…
I imagine the morphine ran out.
Repeat foe Antietam, Vicksburg, the Wilderness.
And the stench.
Pickets Charge was 160:years ago. About now.
Forgot two ts
Most of the troops were 19 or so years old
You misspelled sociopath.
Everyone keeps worrying that I’m lonely.
I’m a self contained hermit/loner and always have been.
When my dog leaves me, then I’ll be lonely.
Might not survive that.
He is currently my tether to this wretched world.
I know you’re strong
And right minded
Dogs can be replaced you know that even though it’s difficult
I’ve outlived around a dozen fine four legged lads
You should anticipate this and get a younger one
A but cruel in my view. I am convinced an old dog knows the young one is to replace him. I think you stay with your furry friend and when they pass mourn and then replace.
I usually own multiple Rotts anyhow
And a solo chihuahua
The latter strictly for entertainment
(Growl snarl and snap lol)
