had a Private Rufus C. Wright in the 16th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, a.k.a. straw hat men

2018-09-23 01:37:20 UTC  

he's like my great great great great grandfather

2018-09-23 01:37:55 UTC  

and a great great great grandfather was drafted but I can only records for his drafting, not for any rank or service

2018-09-23 02:34:26 UTC  

Neat. Did you use a service?

2018-09-23 02:39:47 UTC  

Well my great-grandmother organized a massive genealogical chart dating back to the 1600's and my Great Aunt has maintained it for a while, but I used the information off the chart with Ancestry.com

2018-09-23 02:40:14 UTC  

Ancestry.com showed me the military records, although I'm sure if I asked my great Aunt she would've known it all, but she lives 14 hours away

2018-09-23 02:40:48 UTC  

You tellin me you're the descendant of a yankee?

2018-09-23 02:41:36 UTC  

my father's side is entirely from New York and my mother's side is from Pennsylvania

2018-09-23 02:41:42 UTC  

I know more about my father's side though

2018-09-23 02:41:51 UTC  

Disgusting and makes me vomit

2018-09-23 02:41:53 UTC  

YUCK!

2018-09-23 02:41:59 UTC  

yeah oh well

2018-09-23 02:42:06 UTC  

I'm still a Virginian

2018-09-23 02:42:17 UTC  

but my family are all Northerners

2018-09-23 02:42:47 UTC  

you know if I investigate my mother's side more I might find relatives from surrounding states around Pennsylvania

2018-09-23 02:42:52 UTC  

Fuck no you aren't

2018-09-23 02:42:57 UTC  

which means potentially Virginia and Maryland

2018-09-23 02:43:09 UTC  

You're a yankee traitor by association

2018-09-23 02:43:19 UTC  

which means it's possible I could find southerners, maybe even confederate veterans

2018-09-23 02:44:24 UTC  

hey my family are yankees traitors but it's their fault they brought me to the south

2018-09-23 02:45:07 UTC  

We can trace every modern problem back to northern victory

2018-09-23 02:46:24 UTC  

reconstruction was pretty rough yeah

2018-09-23 02:46:35 UTC  

basically the opposite of reconstruction

2018-09-23 02:47:17 UTC  

And northern victory set a tone of federal supremacy that never died

2018-09-23 02:47:29 UTC  

and the annihilation of state pride

2018-09-23 02:47:44 UTC  

yeah

2018-09-23 02:48:04 UTC  

State power was basically irrelevant if the big bad federals didn't like what ever they were doing

2018-09-23 02:48:55 UTC  

well I might be directly related to a yankee martyr I'm still proud of being Virginian, and I'm about to begin reenacting for the 59th Virginia Infantry Regiment

2018-09-23 02:49:15 UTC  

nice

2018-09-23 02:49:22 UTC  

Virginia uber alles in der welt

2018-09-23 02:49:23 UTC  

I met them today at the Battle of Chaffin's Farm and they want to make me flag-bearer

2018-09-23 02:49:29 UTC  

for their event in November

2018-09-23 02:49:33 UTC  

That is *epic*

2018-09-23 02:49:38 UTC  

ew no Nazis

2018-09-23 02:49:52 UTC  

but I'll proudly march with that battle flag in front of them

2018-09-23 02:49:59 UTC  

Are you implying that Virginia is not above all others in the world?

2018-09-23 02:50:09 UTC  

sadly not today

2018-09-23 02:50:15 UTC  

may I remind you of
