Confederate kin that I have pictures of, including 2g-grandfather & 3g-grandfather. 2nd VA Cavalry, Co. A 51st VA Infantry, Co. H 34th VA Infantry, Co. E 2nd VA Cavalry, Co. A Three of the 4 are from Bedford County. Two of them are from the same unit.

@palmandrabbit Good point. It is still reliable. I think it’s just that brand RG had a reputation as a relatively cheap. This particular one still works just fine thought.

@dixie_cavalier If she's reliable, she's not a saturday night special--that implies a little problematic behavior, like needing to nudge the feed or having 4 different kinds of bullets in a half filled magazine for example.

Found one of my grandpa’s old .38 “Saturday night” specials while going through an old closet. It’s a Rohm .38. Gonna add it to my collection :-)

@BGibbus Well said. The focus on slavery in America as somehow uniquely cruel & especially deserving of scorn is flat wrong & purposefully used in bad faith by Race Marxists as a tool to attack our society & heritage.

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master" It is easy to agree with Lincoln here. I like to believe I've never met anyone who truly wanted to own a slave. We feel like this because we were raised to feel like this. No one we know owns slaves. Interpreting the actions of people in the past through the lense of modern ethics and belief systems is called "Presentism." It's difficult not to do this when reading history, but if someone was born on a plantation and treated well and lived well, they wouldn't feel at all the way we do today about slavery. But talkng or writing about slavery is hard, and I almost never do it. There is almost an obligation, an unwritten rule, that it has to be painted, always, in the worst possible light, and that even an attempt at objectivity - if it seems to moderate slavery - is an attempt to whitewash or justify the institution. This makes it difficult to discuss slavery objectively, which is how it should be discussed. Owning another human being as one would a dog or a mule feels abhorrent to us today, but for most of the history of mankind - far back beyond the first written history - slavery has been a part of human existence. No race of humans, no ancestral group of humans, has been free of being enslaved, nor of owning slaves. A lot of what we feel and believe about it today we owe to the War Between the States, where it is a cudgel used against the treasonous rebels. It was the most evil thing in the history of the world. And slavery is viewed in this country almost entirely in the context of American slavery in the South as though this were the only place African slavery ever existed. The map attached to this post was developed by scholars, and shows what is known of the origin and distribution of African slaves during the years of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which is really the only slavery that matters, after all. 388k to 470,k out of 12.5MM came to North America, or between 4% and 5%. Most of the rest went to South America or the sugar plantations of the Caribbean Islands. Compared to the life on a sugar plantation in Brazil, slavery in America was benign, and Africans, rather than the short life spans they lived in South America, thrived in the US where they enjoyed much longer life spans. Why so few became so important is because the Land of the Free invaded the South and needed them to count for more than all the others.

@theoldworldshow Honestly can’t think of a better combination. I’m going to have all my AI sub agents identify as Scots-Irish and my primary as Anglo-Norman. Will fit well with their tasks.

Nothing better than an Anglo-Norman general and his Scots-Irish right hand man

Facts!! ⬇️ “The Last Meeting”

I’ve never related to something so much.

Time to start reminding the Republicans what they did to the South in 1860 to 1877. War, arson, violence, desolation at the hands of the Republican Party.

@Will_Tanner_1 He remained a gentleman even while be robbed & kidnapped. Death before dishonor!

Additionally, one of the first men attacked by John Brown during Harper’s Ferry was a great grandnephew of George Washington, who had a famous sword Brien wanted to steal. As Fleming tell us it in A Disease in the Public Mind: [Amongst those Brown wanted was] Colonel Lewis W. Washington, a forty-six year-old great grandnephew of the first president. Brown wanted him not only for the moral effect of his name, but also for a ceremonial sword the colonel owned, which the father of the country had supposedly received from King Frederick the Great of Prussia. When balding, black-mustached Colonel Washington opened the door in his nightcap and confronted leveled rifles, he stepped back and said, *Pos-sibly you will have the courtesy to tell me what this means." The leader of the detachment, Aaron Stevens, snarled that they were planning to free all the South's slaves, and taking him prisoner was a first step. As Washington dressed, the raiders found the ceremonial sword and several rifles, which they also appropriated. Stevens asked if Colonel Washington had a watch. When he said yes, Stevens held out his hand. "I want it." "You shall not have it, sir." Washington replied. Stevens demanded all the cash in the house. "I am going to speak to you very plainly, the colonel said. "You told me your purpose was philanthropic. You did not mention it was robbery and rascality." Colonel Washington was encountering one of the clauses in John Brown's constitution —all the property of slave owners could be appropriated for the cause.

@Will_Tanner_1 Colonel Washington, IIRC, while held hostage in the Fire Engine House by Brown & his men, yelled out to Robert E. Lee to, “never-mind us, FIRE!!” to which Lee, recognizing his voice, replied “the Revolutionary Blood does tell.” 🔥 💪🏻🩸

@ColeVonColeIII Thanks Cole. Hope you’re having a good weekend.

@dixie_cavalier That’s awesome man.

Beautiful old Chapel my family helped to found back in 1859. I’ll be buried here when the time comes. #HeritageOfHonor

Reconstruction KKK, who were Confederate veterans, tended to be cavalry. In one South Carolina case it was said over 1,000 men rode silently in perfect formation to mete out justice, and rode away as silently as they came. The case of Matt Stevens. x.com/WanjiruNjoya/s…

Mike Davis is your typical "conservative" imbecile who takes the SPLC bait. He is doing their work. The whole "confederacy" is evil is an SPLC line. Once again the activists outplay these imbeciles and everyone is missing the root of the problem. Pathetic.

Ahh the joys of having a 37mm registered as a DD. It allows such experiments with 3d printed rounds as below. 2oz BBs with hot glue binder. 100 yards. 60grains pyrodex 777. Tree is 6” diameter. Projectile is post tree. 😎

@DWKUSMC2111 Sweet!!! Almost took down that tree lol. This looks like a ton of fun.

The boys from Tennessee and Alabama in 1865 did nothing wrong. And they were dirt poor, almost destitute, no rich Democrats gave them any money. You can compare them to SPLC all you want, it may amuse the Republicans but it doesn't make it true.

@Dirtyyragg2 😏 😝

@dixie_cavalier no no , it goes into my collection

Republicans of the past invaded the South, burned it to the ground, disenfranchised white Southerners, forced through constitutional amendments without consent of the South, forced through civil rights laws at the point of the bayonet, and promised to give blacks reparations.

Great-great* grandma & grandpa. The mother of father of my great-grandmother. Great-great grandma used to wring chickens’ necks in the front yard. She was a tough one!

Great-grandma & great-grandpa Gerrey 🩶.

@Dirtyyragg2 🙏 🙏. My great-aunt told me how he used to only have one pair of shoes so he would go plow the fields barefooted to not get em’ dirty lol. He was a great man though. Very kind & hard working. I got a chance to meet him when I was very young.

@dixie_cavalier one of the coolest buildings ive seen. Your great grandpa seemed like a great man

@Dirtyyragg2 🤝🏻 My great grandpa used to reserve a couple acres worth of tobacco to give the profits to the church every year as his tithe. A couple of the old curing barns are still standing.

@dixie_cavalier my kind of church
