A little bit about me: so my names Kendrick I’m from Astoria, NYC. I’m an introvert I enjoy going on long walks listening to some music (Heavy metal and country) and I plan on giving fishing a try soon. Feel free to message me if your interested!!

As a northerner with majority of my family being from the south it angers me to know what the south went through at the hands of northern invaders. And sometimes I feel ashamed of being a northerner. It’s crazy how I’ve learned from my dads family about the horrible atrocities that southerners had to endure. For example, in July of 1864 before the march to the sea, 500 female mill workers from Marietta and Roswell, Georgia were forcibly removed from their homes and transported to the north. During their transit the women faced abuse and were molested by union troops. The states of South Carolina and Georgia were hit hard toward the end of the war because of Sherman’s campaign. Many churches were burned down, crops were destroyed, homes were burned down, many southern women were subject to abuse and rape by union troops. These events left many families in the south destitute and impoverished. And the damages Sherman caused estimated to be about $100 million in damages, Sherman also stated that the damages were simple waste to demoralize the South and make the Southern civilians feel it’s hard hand and lose their faith in the confederacy protecting them. Like I’ve said in one of my other posts the south had every single right in the world to self government and independence under the 10th amendment and what Lincoln had done to the south was wrong because all they wanted to do was have their independence from the union and be let alone. “All we ask is to be let alone” -Jefferson Davis
