I am absolutely fascinated by history, and the last 2 1/2 years, specifically American history.
I hope some day to visit your Park and learn about that battle and see it for myself someday.
Please keep doing more stuff about the Civil War!
Corey mentioned about how things seem similar, with all the decisiveness. I have to agree.
A great book called, How The South Won The Civil War, by Heather Cox Richardson (American Historian) discusses how the ideology of the Confederacy found a new life and is still impacting us today.
Your voice makes me happy, your brain is as crazy as mine, just going constantly, so I am cool with all the things that you come up with. The Civil War is fascinating to me from a social psychological aspect. I never understood how brother could fight against brother. Talk to us about what your brain wants to get out , we are here.
I personally would be down to hear more civil war stuff. I was actually born in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, but haven't been back since I was a baby, but always wanted to go back to learn more. Your walks through the park have especially inspired me! I'm sure your essay will be great, so stop stressing! 😉 Also, not substack related, but I'm super stoked about your Dad producing Puttin' on Airs! ❤️
I’ve never heard of the term “piddling” (piddlin’?) before. We don’t have cool phrases like that in the Pacific Northwest (that I know of). More southern vocabulary, please!
Love all the history stuff man. The thing that makes talking about war so interesting for me is hearing the sides we weren't taught in school (talking from a dual nationality perspective but same here in US from what I can see). Either because we mostly just teach our own side (that's just universal - but you touched on it here with Vietnam, fascinating country but how many of us know what was going on there before we showed up? Or has happened since we left?), or in many cases just because its politically inconvenient and easy to slap a CRT sticker on.
Everything has two sides - Churchill arguably saved the western world, but he also committed intentional genocide in India with his blockading policies. And fine we know Uncle Joe saved everyone's ass in WW2, I get that, but do we just *not talk* about how we sat our starters for the first two quarters because a couple of our more meathead coaches maybe had a little issue deciding whether or not maybe this opposing Adolf guy was a cool mf or not? There's so much being lost by deliberately poorly-funded education systems here, I think its our duty to society to talk and shoot the shit on history as much as we can. Lest we forget etc. etc.

Corey! Let it rip, big guy! Listening to you makes me homesick for the South. I picture listening to your bullshit while playing poker.
Thank you, Corey! Keep doing what you do 👍
I whittle with fire.
I'm piddlin right now playing recorder as a backdrop to you piddlin lol
