By gar,dose Maroons use to play lesoiray du hockey in Montreal right with les Habitants dere.Dey call dem de Anglais team by gar,and us Frenchmen beat dem ever time calisse!

 

Everybody lighten up..."Maroons" is what us Eyties say when describing a person dumber than we are!

 

I'd argue-- am arguing-- the speed with which "we" backed away demonstrates that in fact it was inevitable.

The people back home desperately wanted Johnny to come marching home, and they wanted him to win the war if possible, but they certainly did not want him bringing his comrade-in-arms Kunta Kinte back to meet the folks. That just wasn't done.

And it is peculiar to see the Radicals described as "moderately conservative."

And mostly the northern abolitionists' weren't even aware that those 180,000 had been "unleashed" because they mostly weren't; they were given garrison duty-- Wilmington and the Crater were not typical of their use. It was toward the very end of the war that enough people in authority became convinced that many or most of them were valid troops and could be used in the front lines. White soldiers hardly ever saw black ones supporting them in combat, and when they did they often did not trust them.

 

At the Crater,they were sent in as forlorn hope,after the line had been restored,on the order of a general too drunk* to know the battle was in fact over.
*This General was not Grant, btw.

 

You don’t get to pull the “Southern countrymen” card here and then claim Southern lands were “sovereign” later in the same thread.

Narrow your argument down to just one kind of ahistorical nonsense, please.

See!They get mad when the free market works against them .
True Conservatives!

 

Hadn't been no slaves, wouldn't have been no need for a war. Whining because they couldn't recruit from abroad is low energy af

 

Sorry, but the first half of this sentence invalidates the second. Either you do or you don't. Half measures have failed again and again.

 

Hmm; I thought we were exploring whether the rise of Jim Crow stemmed from a resurgence of the Confederate ethos shortly after Appomattox, or from the underlying racism of the whole of white culture, even including the great majority of the abolitionists; that is, whether it was a sectional phenomenon or an across the board impulse. Temporary, revocable, equality, would seem to indicate the latter to me.

 

And IIRC the General was not a General very much longer either...

General Ferraro was in charge of the black soldiers, but he was either under the orders or the influence of General Ledlie, it is not entirely clear which, and Ledlie was the man who was, if not drunk, working towards it anyway.

But the great failure was Burnside's-- he forgot the first rule of general assaults, which is get your own defensive obstacles out of the way beforehand. The abattis was still in the way of the troops which should have been circling the rim of the crater, keeping them instead trapped within the union lines.

Burnside was sent on furlough for the rest of his life, Ledlie went with him for reasons also unknown, and we hear no more about him. What happened to Ferraro I have never heard, but I suspect his future commands included kitchens and stables and latrine fields...

Well, no-- I just looked him up-- he seems to have escaped the blame, was kicked upstairs in December (the rest of his war record was both active and good) and mustered out in August of '65. "After the war, he went on to be one of the leading dance instructors and ballroom operators in America." (Wikipedia)

 

Ferrero moved his men forward as ordered.Ledlie should have held them back,since the Confederate line was restored and there was no more chance of a breakthrough,but he was drunk off his ass.

And what to say about poor old Burn?He gets his chance at redemption for all his other fcvkups (soooo many fcvkups), successfully blows up the trench system,and then screws up the assault.Part of it was the Union troops were shocked by success of the blast and were more gawkers than attackers for some critical minutes.But ,not for the first time,they were appallingly led.

 

Not surprised. This level of conservatism never really stopped in states like AR, MS, NC, SC, GA, TN and AL. Pretty sure some still in the metro NYC areaThere are a few in my state, too. The sort of places where nobody wants to live if they have even a little talent.

I was born in Greensboro, and I remember my folks telling stories about where they could eat, sleep, use the restroom, etc. Less than 100 years ago.

 

No.

 

Oh interesting. Which ones?

 

Places Black folks ain't welcome. You saw Jungle Fever... where Pwaulie lived.

 

@Cascarino's Pizzeria it shouldn't be interesting to you. You live there. You're supposed to already know.
