As you good members know, the occaisional invective sometimes passes one's lips, especially in times of dire crises. In view of these difficult times, I thought I would post this thoughtful piece in full...with just the odd '*' for clarification:

Now that's my kind of literature. ![]() I'm still reading "Orientalism", Jasper. Difficult, but not impossible.

the civil war sucked yes
you wanna read some books read "rise and fall of the confederate govenrment" unagbriged version i think theres more to it than people know about or at least get a simple movie like "education of little tree" or even "the outlaw josey wales" which is based on a civil war diary the north invaded just like bush invaded then again clinton invaded serbia clinton was worse i think |

Niquie, Have you sought your relative's military or pension records from the national records office yet. I think we talked about this a long time ago. I got my greatgrandfathers pension records which detail alot of his 4 years service in the civil war. Very intersting reading and good for following family history. Costs $35 to get a full copy of their records. they recommend the pension records rather than the military records for family history. I learned how to do it on one of the many civil war websites out there. Best to know their full name, when they served and most importantly the units they were in. I already knew his dates of service and units , so they got my records very fast for me.

oh sure
i suppose most our nordic cousins in the usa are desended from yankees the fact remains the northern juries failed to convict the slave importers even though it was illegal to import slaves the southern conferdate constitution outlawed further imports claiming it would be enforced.. maybe they also were liars there were blacks that were confederate and lots of indians ive read variuos things- what have you read? yet i dont live in" the south" i live in wash state and i think im sort of liberal im against death penalty facts are facts though republican party was founded to stop slavery in territories like kansas and lincoln wanted to deport the blacks and said he had no power to abolish slavery |

lincoln refused the prisoner of war exchanges ,, the north had food and starved prisoners,, the south tried to send them back and the north refused their own people ,, and the south lacked food
id never call myself a republican i dont think the party of pure meanness |

page 262 of the unabgridged version of "rise and fall of the conferdate government" says slave imports would be made ilegal and a new york paper was quoted as saying something like "this would be a great improvement wheter their "revolution" failed or succeeded"

things like jefferson davis being related to pocahantus tribe powhanten and he saving the hostile apaches ,being kind even to them
the north seemed to have a penchant for persecuting their allies like i read the cherokees that were for the north in oklahoma after the war didnt do well either but were lumped in with all the rebel cherokees ive read this hsitory and i know what im talking about ,, as to what side my ansestors were on i dont know or care maybe neutral maybe rebels, maybe yankees |

the cherokees that were on different sides of this war and the other indians also i doubt if they actually hate each other in 2004 ,so the whole hate thing is silly .. get over it
and good book to read is "trail of tears " by john ehle which also talks about the civil war within the civil war the cherokees had- a fight between two factions in 1850 to 1870 |
