There were hundreds of enslaved laborers already attached to Pickett's division as they were throughout the rest of the Army of Northern Virginia. An army that included thousands of slaves kidnapping hundreds of African Americans. These people are the centerpiece of my current book project.

As Confederate general George Pickett's division moved north toward the town of Gettysburg, he was instructed by James Longstreet to keep the "captured contraband" with him. These were Black men and women captured by Confederates in Pennsylvania and Maryland, who were supposed to be sent back south.

i think you're right

anyway gas should be $9/gallon, fight me

i had to say 'corn juice' because i have genuinely forgotten what the hell the stuff is tht its the US gas

special mention for my brother, as i made a joke abt how the gas in [redacted southern balkans country] was heavily adulterated w/water and he WELL ACTUALLY'd me re: fact tht corn juice is in gas in the US - yeah, well, tht shit is regulated, this is just individual gas stations watering shit down

for record, this isnt me implying the gas should be cheaper here, and im not even complaining abt the cost itself, i'm just sick of hearing fellow americans bitch abt gas prices stateside tht are a fraction of what they are in europe

always taken aback when i re-discover tht ron paul hasnt croaked yet

sickos yes

family & friends back stateside pissing and moaning to me abt having to pay $3.79/gallon for gas, shut the fuck up, that shit's $10/gallon here *and* the public transit sucks

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016
