The southern states all signed the “Articles of Confederation”. As a result of their attempted secession from the United States, it was an act of war. Lee should have been arrested at his resignation from the US Army since Lincoln had declared Martial Law. The South was living on deficit spending and the soil was being depleted. The Southwest Territories were Free, so the South was really financially strapped. Slaves were a financial commodity to the South and their Emancipation was a final blow to the South. “States Rights” were not an issue to the North since the South signed the “Articles of Confederation”. Had the South won the Civil War, in my opinion, England would have returned and had a new foothold in the country as the South would have become an English Colony. England would have e abolished slavery as they did years ago in England. England held much of the South’s debt and England would have returned to protect their credit investment.
When I think that these people born in the 1870’s had grandparents born 80 yrs before and practically were 1700’s babies, the 1800’s doesn’t seem that old anymore.
the question asked was, "are you having a good time?" i mean, i can understand not asking for their thoughts on owning black people in 1929 but ask something of substance...geez
My dad knew his great aunts and uncles when he was a boy 10 and under....... They were born before the civil war.... Grew up through it. I of course knew my grandmother who was born in 1903.... Grew up before airplanes, before world war I, when the horse and buggy was still widely used, nobody had air conditioning....... And she died in the 1980s..... With jet airline traffic and computers. She never trusted planes and never flew, she only took the bus anywhere she needed to go I have furniture that's been in my family over 250 years.... In the 1990s my mom sold land that had been in my family 160 years
