Fought against what exactly?

.. against the north or the country? If they fought under csa they were fighting for the country

My original bunch got off the boat from Scotland in 1774, and when Cornwallis showed up, they were still green to what was going down, so they formed up like good highlanders and fought for the crown. What didn't get sent to Canada hightailed it west as they'd worn out their welcome in the Carolinas.

But they were fully up to speed when Alabama left the union and to a man wore the grey.

I see …. A little yeller belly then got right

They held their own like good highlanders do, but the dang lobsterbacks didn't hold up their end, lol. Done wandered up to Yorktown and got themselves beat. Never trust a bloody englishman.

Just like they did years later. Sold us the guns but wouldn't get their hands dirty.

I’d have sold guns to the Native Americans. Jackson can eat a big one. Here fellas. Leave those blankets be, and return fire.

…. That’d have ended badly if it worked out lol

His post says that but I dont see the connection in the family tree.

If you and they have early American roots, most of the people you deal with every day are cousins of yours many different ways, many times. Family and friends migrated to America together and migrated within America together.

I have probably mentioned this before on Tman. My Great-Great Grandfather was shot in the thigh at the Battle of Chicamauga (sp.). I believe he was in the 39th Asheville (NC) infantry. He lived until 1930. My grandfather remembers his leg oozing fluid until he died. He mentioned had it not been for a row of corn he would have drowned. After the battle a torrential rain storm came and poured so much rain he had to force his head up on the row. I would guess it was probably a .58 cal? There is a marker at the Battle site that mentions his unit. The Chicamauga armory is pretty impressive.

And after the war, if they were offered a free ride back to the homeland, they da been running from the docks
