I always heard it was more like a rabbit squeal. Funny that it is considered honorable to violate parole that saved his life . . . I would have loved to been with Sherman on his march through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina. Amazing thing is Sherman's army only suffered 1,300 casualties on that entire glorious campaign. Lee's army suffered more than 5 times that in less than hour in Pickett's "charge". Hard not to equate the Stars & Bars to the Swastika. My family was part of the GOP since before the Civil War and they still are staunch Republicans. A distant cousin was Republican governor. What side did Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, and Gary Indiana fight on? Whatever it was, they lost.

The wife and I each have a bit of Native American in our blood. So I am sure the answer to the OP is yes for both of us.

My parents were the last ancestors of mine to own slaves. My children have it much easier than my siblings and I. 😀

I called it "earning my keep". I had a wonderful childhood and I deeply love my parents, they were/are the best a kid could hope for. I had chores and responsibilities and I’m better because of it. I had the luxury of growing up surrounded by love, safety and security so I promise you that my comments were strictly humorous and in no way a reflection on my childhood. 😀

That sob destroyed my ancestors property while the men were away fighting. Sherman was a war criminal in every sense of the word.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

I’m second generation on dads side, third on moms. My ancestors got here after the festivities of 1861-65. Have Armenian relatives who were oppressed by the Turks in the years leading up to the First World War. Can’t even get Turkey to acknowledge the genocide they committed.

I'd have to ask my ancestors. But they're all dead.

The world would like to forget that slavery predates Columbus by millennia. And that it was practiced by every race in the world, against every other race, and often against their own.
There are none alive today who did not have both slaves and slave owners as part of their ancestry. Somewhere in the last 2000 generations, both are there.

KragLarsenYou are a DamnYankee SOB. Sherman left a 50 mile width swarth from Jackson MS to Atlanta GA waging war against civilians and destroying their livestock, property and food. If anyone is due reparations, it’s the southern whites. Many of our ancestors starved or had shortened lifespans because of this. FORGET?HELL NO! The north has always tried to force their will upon the South. Why didn’t y’all do forced integration and busing up north. The damn Kennedys never had their kids in public schools. The Civil War was always about states right to succeed from the Union. The issue was never settled and is still simmering today.
