Question for anyone who was into Twilight or had a child or loved one who was into Twilight : how did you or the people around you treat the fact one of Edward's family fought for the Confederacy?

I don't have a vested interest in this, I'm too old to have been into Twilight and my daughter is too young, and I'm relieved about that - I've never read the books but they don't sound like a good influence. There are loads of things she loves to read and she has great taste in books. I just seem to have fallen into a Twilight rabbit hole

The queen. If you can be queen of a republic.

What are other people's favourite?

I think this was the first place I ever heard of the American Civil War?

Would they have taken them home? Did they have to return them as government property? What did they do?

Don't know why that's edited out of the version on YouTube kids but not the blackface but there you go. I wouldn't have known who Stonewall Jackson was when I saw this on TV as a kid

Did he walk back some of the stuff he'd said? Did he get away with it if he did?

Someone mentioned it on here ages ago. I can remember seeing it on kids TV in the nineties which is pretty amazing (though not that amazing as I also remember Tom and Jerry cartoons with the housemaid being on.

Afterwards the host (Tommy Boyd) explained to the kids who Abraham Lincoln was, which was a nice public service moment. And it's pretty plain about what the civil war was about

I feel like it's doing that.

Does any of his artwork still exist? What kind of things did he paint?

Do most of cultural stereotypes that get applied to Southerners predate the war? Did they get worse during or after it? Like did people joke about Southerners marrying their cousins before the war or did that come later?

(Obviously stereotyping anyone based on where they come from is wrong.)
