Don't listen to Donny Trump as he distorts history. We tried to work things out. It just wasn't quite that simple.

According to Ole' Andy, all the country had to do was accept slavery as a white man's right. Bill O'Reily agreed with him, but the country went a different way. SAD

(7,889 posts)My name is Pvt. Robert Roscoe. I served twice in the Civil War-once in the Indiana Calvary-but I got typhoid and got discharged because I couldn't stay out in the elements. Second enlistment I went into the infantry and lost my left arm at the Battle of Shiloh. I tell you we were THIS CLOSE to working it out!!!!
