God bless southern women in general. Personally though, God bless the women of South Carolina! They are as beautiful and dangerous! On the battlefields of the Civil War the Southern men fought with muskets, rifles, pistols, swords, daggers and tomahawks. Our Southern women on the other hand... used their southern hospitality, beauty, wit and charm to fight the war in another way. When the city of Charleston was captured by the Union during the war, many of the hospitable Southern belles would invite Union soldiers over to their homes to make tea for them. Oleander tea in the bellys of thirsty yankee soldiers always makes me smile when you know the fate of those yankee soldiers after they drank the tea. 🍵 ☢ Revenge comes in a glass of sweet oleander tea!
Having “The Charleston Obsession”, as I was told when visiting once, I’m very glad of one thing. Sherman had been posted in Charleston early in his career, and he loved the city. The Yankees did plenty of damage but he wouldn’t order the city destroyed. When I visited Richmond it was sad to know that it was ravaged by the Yankees under Sherman’s orders. Considering his “March across Georgia” I can’t believe Savannah was able to keep so many beautiful buildings, and stately homes.
