My 3rd GGF and his two brothers enlisted in the Union Army just a month after Sumpter. Many of my ancestors were northern Quakers or descendants of Quakers and were staunch abolitionists.
Unlike der Fuehrer whose ancestors were key african slave traders, mine signed on to do away with slavery. The slave trade was wholly run by arabs and the major black tribes of africa who captured and controlled the the sale of slaves to whomever would buy them including other blacks.
I’m with you, my ancestors may have been crazy for fighting to free the ancestors of these stupid tribal racists.
Yeah, I’m wonderin’ how many Union soldiers had to die before white guilt was absolved in the eyes of these professional whiners. Jerks!
