I was born and raised in NC. My ancestors go back to over 250 years when the Highlanders were ran out of Scotland by the Redcoats. Thousands upon thousands settled in North Carolina. They fought in the Revolutionary War and the War of Sesession. My gg grandpa fought in the war and died in 1919. My grandma would tell us kids the story of how his brother was fighting by his side and was KIA, to be buried in a mass grave in Virginia. Countless other relatives fought and many died, Not a one owned a slave. For years after the war the veterans of both sides held reunions and got
along fine. These men went through a terrible war but didn’t hate each other after it was over. Confederate generals were held in high regard by all Americans. Presidents attended the reunions. If these men who killed each other wholesale held no bitterness in their hearts for each other what in the hell is wrong with these idiots of today. A country learns from its history and moves on. You don’t try to destroy that history.
