A little off subject but . . . .
The Gettysburg National Museum in Harrisburg PA has an interactive system that tells the story of the Civil War as you stroll through it. One of the features is a computer with the names of everyone who fought in the Civil War - on both sides!
I looked up my last name and found one match. A Sargent who fought for the North.
So I figure my family name is free from the repercussions of “Reparations”!
“330,000+ WHITE UNION military knowingly left their families and went to their deaths during the Civil War; they gave up their lives to free the BLACK AMERICAN SLAVES, they followed the directives and emancipation orders of their government, a government THEY ELECTED. I have never heard a Progressive African-American, or a White Progressive, ever acknowledge, much less credit these men for their sacrifices, nor do they recognize the 260,000+ White Union military who were wounded and/or grievously disabled; nor the widows; nor the children, nor the families of the military who also suffered TO FREE THE BLACK SLAVES.”
The Union lost almost twice number, KIA and mortally wounded men at the THREE DAYS at Gettysburg, than the Blacks lost during the entire Civil War.
But whose counting, certainly not the 1619 PROJECT!
