God, I’m sick 🤒
I keep feeling the history in the Central Virginia woods we moved to. Battles all around here. Bloody, brutal, smoke and the smell of death. Men camping near here or here perhaps. Civilians Women, Children suffered at the hands of Sherman’s March. Flashback 😢

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down… @LevonHelmRamble This week,
Richmond’s #RobertELee Statue was cut apart at his waist and hauled away. They hacked at his grave covering to find the elusive time capsule. Graffiti covered stone. Gleeful crowd cheered on the desecration.

@107Wchv #RobertELee Surrendering saved Thousands of Tired Union And Confederate Troops. He was a Soldier, Military Leader, and He Ended the War between the States. It wasn’t just about slavery. About the “public parks”: Without statues, ownership should revert to McIntire Heirs. 
My thoughts over the years, trying to understand why my Bohemia born Great Great Grandfather died at Shiloh as a Union Soldier for the Illinois Regiment. His widow and 4 children had to Prove relationship to get $5 a month widow’s pension. #Reparations ?
Have given this a lot of thought. traveloguefortheuniverse.blogspot.com/search?q=Civil…

@dagenmcdowell I have to report my dismay at the systematic dismantling of Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. It was a most majestic living museum of fine art. Sculpture, Art, is not about just the Good. It is often in Overcoming the Bad.
If @GovernorVA Northam resigns because of the racist photo scandal, @LGJustinFairfax is next in line to take over. So, we are answering one question: WHO IS JUSTIN FAIRFAX? @wusa9
