As I've said before, to my fellow peeps who enjoy learning about the Civil War/history in general, those who come across as being overtly 'pro-north only', can be just as annoying & arrogant as those who come across as nothing but 'pro-south only '.

Pray for all the mothers & fathers that are now realizing their daughters & sons didn't run away from the Residential School as they were told but are probably buried somewhere in an unmarked grave by the Residential School. The last Residential School closed in 1996 in Canada.

History contain lots of legendary names. George Washington, Genghis Khan, Santa Claus. However, you might be surprised to find out that some of the people that grace your textbooks aren’t real people.

Historic Headlines A🌷 A 'Christian prince' is 100% a dictator.

Also, which denomination of Christianity are we talking about?

Or will we go back to the internecine strife between the many Christian sects?

Mixing religion and politics invariably corrupts both.

Truth CAMPBIZZLE Lauren Boebert We did not defeat the Natives of this land through battles. Your knowledge of history is woefully lacking.

We killed through battles (no, we did not will them all), ignoring signed treaties, introduced diseases, liquor, scalping, rape, and genocide.
