Amateur Hour Continues

How did he get to be a General at 17 or so YO? Wow.

I looked him up on www.findagrave.com and his title of General came later when he was Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans. The man lived to be 102, and is buried in Bristol, TN.

You should try something less time consuming and very interesting it’s an actual recording of him ...

Absolutely fascinating. Thanks.

Lost Cause narrative comes on thick at the end.

I'm sure you know more than he did about why he fought.

Absolutely fascinating. Thanks.

I enjoyed listening to him , the other one I posted is also really cool to think about also . We have a man that shook hands with those soldiers and has it in video .

I just watched that one. When I was just about 6 or 7, I remember reading about a man who was supposedly the last veteran of the Civil War dying. It was in the mid-1950's, and I believe it was in a Life or Look magazine..

I had older relatives who lived in Virginia, and they always said Nigras like he did. It wasn't meant as a slur. It was just the way the pronounced Negroes in those days with that accent. The term blacks didn't come along until late in the 1960's , I think, and the term African American has been much more recent.

I enjoyed the simple but eloquent way he spoke . Still very pronounced , even being from Virginia and I’m guessing average education for then .

And he was awarded the Medal of Honor. But nah, white privilege ain't no thang.

He wasn’t awarded the Medal of Honor.

I'm 100% certain if you recorded his account in 1866, it would have sounded differently than in 1946. Memories evolve over time.

This Ron Crimm .. he is the 3 year old boy in the video shaking hands with soldiers at Gettysburg at the 75th reunion . He’s still alive today ....

I don't think I've ever seen a "ground level" film with the veterans shaking the hands of visitors like that. Interesting.

The history of CW veterans' reunions themselves is a bit convoluted. Quite a few people opposed them.

I'm sure you know exactly what was in his mind in 1863, 64, 66, and 1946. Hell, we didn't even need his account. We should have asked Velo instead.

I remember reading about them in the 1950's and 60's. Yes, I know they didn't have them then, but there were accounts written then, and I remember the reunions being spoken of in a positive manor by the attendees.

I'm saying the further you get from an event, the less reliable peoples' memories become. Crazy, I know. Heck, we're already seeing an evolution in the explanation for the Iraq War, and we have much of the actual history recorded.

Here, in particular, the story of the Civil War really evolved around 1900.

I can't remember for sure which lecture I'm thinking about but it may be this one.



There are several good ones at the Gettysburg channel.

Olivia de Havilland FTW.

You can tell this is something they love to do on a regular basis. Just look at Melania's face. Trump's totally digging it. Probably reminds him of how he used to throw his crayons in kindergarten after being told by the teacher to stop eating glue.

You are a petty individual.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for two liberal Supreme Court justices to recuse themselves from cases involving him following a scathing dissent issued by one of them, blasting the justices as the court considers a number of cases critical to his presidency.
