Thank you.
My pleasure.

We can pass down culture and history as remembered. But at some point it gets tough to kick against what is written down, "documented" as it were. ...
Or, to correct the falsehoods in the "official" record. the predations the Yankees suffered upon the South after the war were far more heinous than the loss of life during the war...or says my Great Grand Pappy in a book he wrote about the war, and the aftermath, in Williamsburg County, SC.

Charleston was spared...obviously. The earthquake of 1886 did more to Charleston than did Yankee cannon/mortor fire.

Did a paper on the post civil war condition(s) of the citizens of one city - Baltimore, After the Civil War.

It was enlightening to get into the stacks of the Enock Pratt Free Library and read/examine some of the first hand accounts. What a magnificent source that facility is.

The Maryland position of being anti gun for all but the elite was obvious back then.

I graduated, married, and moved on out to Virginia - never looked back. IMO that state still resists to this day to give proper recognition to our RKBA.

When someone from that state objects to the freedom to defend ourselves - I might suggest that they go back home and put one of those infamous NG signs in their front yard.......or maybe wear a shirt emblazoned with an "I don't have a gun" message while they are here :lol:

rewriting history

History is what it is. The facts cannot change, but the memories can be changed. Ask any japanese citizen about WWII. For them, the "state" has been teaching that they were the "good guys" No "comfort women", no atrocities, no "sneak attacks", just minding there own business.

Will that happen here? Will they deny the War between the States ever occurred? I had family at Antietam, will their history be corrected"?
