They fought for the country they believed in and that included my ancestors in Gray. They fought to protect a flawed, even evil, system and they were defeated but they wouldn't have needed to rise up unless Republicans of the Party of Lincoln had not stood against slavery.

The "all" meant ALL of us, black, white and brown. Every race. Until the civil war, even men such as Washington kept slaves, though he freed all of his upon his death AND refused to sell a slave with a wife and children unless they ALL went together.

You and I are in the same boat. The history some of us here are remembering doesn't seem to match my recollection, the history books, or even google. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromdor Posted July 5, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2019 The history I remember celebrates the 4th of July as when we got our independence from England. It had nothing to do with Republicans, Abraham Lincoln, Democrats, or anything you guys are talking about. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromdor Posted July 5, 2019 #16 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Anyways. My Fourth of July was lame. Thunderstorms cancelled the city fireworks display. Bernie Sanders and half of the Democrat candidates were in the parades around here, though: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/as-trump-plans-july-4-speech-his-challengers-march-to-a-different-drummer/ar-AADRn3k?li=BBnb7Kz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny and hot on the West Coast. Hot Dogs and hamburgers going on the grill soon. Sorry about your thunderstorms. I remember many a wet 4th growing up. Kind of cheating with UM. This has been a no news, low media day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docyabut2 Posted July 5, 2019 Author #19 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I know the demos complained that Trump gave a military of tanks and air on the 4 of July, but so many presidents did that before. sorry but those demos are a bunch of crap:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
