Was Colonel Quantrell Quantrill a psycho killer whose methods went too far, or just another States Rights loyalist? I'd argue a bit of both, but hey, your call.
In the meanwhile, we appear to be heading into some kind of corporate sponsored civil war. Where do you stand, with the transgender, globalist Maoists and their Blue Chip allies or with something else?
I vote Quantrill, but that's just me. Your call.

I live in what was the heart of the old Kansas-Missouri Border War, or Bleeding Kansas as it was known back in the day. The county I live in counted both Quantrill(Paola) and John Brown(Osawatomie) as residents at one time. Quantrill taught school in a small community in the west part of the county(Stanton). Interesting times.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fierce history, Jim, or so I've discovered. Of course many of them were hard and fierce people -- Brown, Quantrill and on. They had to be, pioneered the land. Where does that put us?
ReplyDeleteNot many generations removed but a whole lot's gone in between. So how much is left of their spirit? I'm not sure, to be honest. A lot, a little, none, some? One thing's true though, I think, the US in general is far less affected by Cultural Marxism than the Europe and the UK. But I won't bang on.
delete "the" before "Europe" (Ed.)
ReplyDeleteJudging history should include some understanding of the time an place these people operated. Banditry clothed in patriotism? Akin to privateers on the seas?
ReplyDeleteSadly, LSP, the Marxists are here and they're in our education systems. There are rational young folks, I see them at the range. I just hope there are enough of them.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard this one? surprised youtube has left it up
