I had a few relatives on my mother's side that fought for the Confederacy. When I was about 11 years old I met one of them before he passed on. I asked him abut it but all he would say was it was a horrible time in his life. According to his wife who was into geneology big time, I'm supposed to be related to Robert E. Lee although about 6 times removed. His wife was supposed to send me copies of what she recorded but passed on shortly after he husband. Currently, one of my grand daughters is into that stuff and is trying to confirm what the old lady told me. That is something that I think I should know for sure. With that knowledge and a $5.00 bill I might be ale to buy a cup of coffee somewhere in town.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
