I hate uppity women. Do I ever hate uppity women.
My mother told me to respect women since they bring life and gentlness in the world, and my pa told me that if I ever hit one I'd be lower than a bulltode, but I had to walk out the room to keep from hitting one today. I was looking for work and while I was sitting there minding my own self, she up and asks why I'm not out there fiting.
I told her I wasnt inlisted because I wasnt drafted and already lost 2 brothers to it. She called me a yankee sympathyzer, or something, and I had to walk away because my face growed red and I felt like boxing her good in the face. I don't know much about politics, but I know I don't want to be a damn soldier. Not shure how I feel about slavry exept that I had some good Negroe friends and they arent like animals like they say at all, but if they want to take away my Confederate nation thats a real shamefull thing to do. I learnt in school that America was a colony from England, and started a country for freedom, so why are they taking ours?
Im not fiting, but I know it isnt fair. Im just not shure is all.
There was a battle in Virginia 2 days ago, but Im not even going to here about it.
