Just amazes me when you have someone who affected so many...who has a day set aside to recognize him. And everyone wants to act like it's not even happening, just because of who he was. I'm ashamed to be associated with this board and it's bigotted members. Well, I for one, will not participate in the blatant hatred of English comedians and I will duly note that Benny Hill was born this day in 1924.
:bar: Here's to the late, great Benny Hill.

Yea I wonder why? Oh maybe because North Carolinian's shot him?
And to add insult to injury they were such shitty shots they couldn't even hit him where it would kill him quickly. Had to make him suffer a couple of days by shooting his extremities.
Wait.....Is that why?

Sorry...I have been too busy at the parade today to get out here and post anything. There is really nothing like the Birmingham Benny Parade.

He's the one that got disorientated in no man's land. They don't call it no man's land for nothing. And he's the one who didn't respond when challenged by the sentries of the 18th NC who rightfully shot him. And he's the one who got pneumonia after having those damn "cold" compresses!
Besides, my ancestors weren't in that unit and I've paid my respects at the grave of the General in Lexington, Virginia AND his arm at Ellwood Manor in Locust Grove, Virginia AND prayed in the Lee Chapel in Lexington too!

Likewise. I sponsored 3 seats on that "freedom rider" bus that left Birmingham yesterday for the coronation.

Pretty shitty of them if you ask me. Almost as shitty as them not being able to follow orders at Gettysburg and only sending 1/3 of their men causing Pickett's Charge to fail. The goat makes sense now! Pretty sure Pickett's men were mostly Virginian and I know the orders were screwed but why let accuracy get in the way of a troll?

"First at Bethel, Farthest to the Front at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, and Last at Appomattox" That means something to us Tarheels; you Yellowhammers need to be showing some respect. And read some history:

The Alabama and Texas regiments were the sole reason the rebs were even in that fight as long as they were. The union officers said they fought like crazed men. Take notes here.

Take a look at Epperson's "The Unseen Hand". It gives quoted from one of MLK's most trusted friends. Reverend Uriah J. Fields, the clergyman who was King's secretary during the early stages of the bus boycott that made King famous, wrote this about those associated with him: "King helps to advance communism. He is surrounded with Communists. This is the major reason I severed my relationship with him during the Fifties. He is soft on communism."
Its also worth to take a look at Jackie Kennedy's opinions of him. It paints a different view than the propaganda spoonfed to the public by the media since its inconvenient to do so.

Whatever, Yellowhammer; the fact that my native state engaged in the War in the first place is the sole reason that kept the Confederacy in the fight for as long as it was; native Tarheels provided more men and more material to the cause than any other state in the Confederacy among other things.
So there.

That would be as bad as me adding that I had ancestors who were officers in the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment who helped hold the end of the line at Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg; as I recall charging and disbursing a bunch of Yellowhammers with fixed bayonets (after they ran out of ammunition) thus ending the attack on the Federal extreme left flank.

That depends on how much Scotch I've had to drink; usually goes from speaking in a Scottish brogue to quoting Shakespeares' "Macbeth", "Julius Caesar", and "Henry V" right on to singing popular 18th and 19th century songs.
-
No slaves.
The only ancestor I know of in the Civil War didn't have slaves either. My grandmother's grandfather walked from south Alabama to Montgomery to volunteer. From their he marched to Virginia, was taken as a POW in his first battle, stayed four years in prison camp (outside DC somewhere) and then walked back to south Alabama. My uncle found some papers on him, written on the bottom of his discharge from prison paper was a note that said he never got paid for the four years he was away from home.

Impossible. The good folks up north say that we're all stupid, racist and all had ancestors that owned slaves. Sorry to bust your bubble.

Could have been Point Lookout; that's where my Gr-Gr-Grandfather had been imprisoned however unlike your ancestor he died and is buried there. It was an exceedingly horrible place; far worse than the much vilified Andersonville.
My ancestor was an older man when he volunteered for the Cavalry; already had a family and kids and a tobacco farm (but no slaves). I often wondered precisely what motivated him but humans being humans I'm sure that he had the same feelings and thoughts that I have about an increasingly intrusive and imperious FedGov.
-

Yea another little tidbit you never hear about Andersonville is that the mortality rate for the guards was the same as that of the prisoners and the prisoner's own Yankee government refused to take them back when the South tried to release them.

Speaking of Civil War Prison Camps........wonder why we don't teach students about Camp Douglas or it's never mentioned in any history books?

The spoils and history go with the victor. It has been that way for centuries!
The schools in the south used to teach open mindedly about the civil war, but the great educators of the federal government have all but erased anything except slavery as the cause!

I believe slavery was a reason for the war against the states but I believe taxation and state's rights were larger reasons. Lincoln (or his handlers) were smart enough to start molding public opinion and the history books from the very beginning. It makes it look much more palpable and just. I wish we knew the true numbers of slaves in the south vs in the north. Per capita ratio would be interesting. I've seen estimates but I suspect it's impossible to know actual numbers.
I'm glad that the type of slavery we had then is gone. I suspect progress and technology have more to do with that than bullets. And we just switched forms of slavery.

Taxation was the original issue. Slavery was used to sway public opinion against the confederate side of the original taxation conflict. And Lincoln knew that. I mean, after all, who would support a side that had slavery right?? So it has become the war against slavery in modern fairy tale history. I know it's hindsight but if the south had abolished slavery on their own, the north would have lost that trump card and had no real good reason to do what they did from a PR perspective.

Well not to flog a horse, that if not dead is at this point in mortal danger of expiring, but a couple of points....
If you will look at the confederate constitution you will see that they had already abolished the slave trade, which means slavery was on it's way out. Add in the advances in technology and it is a no brainer. Slavery did not become an issue until the second year of the war.
Revisionists history runs rampant.
