My people were being killed...your people were killed..
Plenty of folks died.
that is sure true , and I do not dwell on the distant past so much. but I’ll be darned if I will celebrate those who used to shoot and kill my kin.
My kin were farmers that answered their State’s givernors call . They dud nit keeo slaves , yet lateron their property was pillaged ,buildings burnt and livestock stolen . Hell they even took the fence rails . They me I gotta love them ? We southerners have long memories.
