Best decade, 19th c.: 1870s - Reconstruction was apparently empowering
Best decade, 20th c.: 1990s, trance, dnb, hip hop, internet wild west, the sweet spot between Sears catalog earning your jerk and 'safe search off',
Best decade, ever: year 0 - 10, every experience is a new experience
Best decade, 19th c.: 1870s - Reconstruction was apparently empowering
You should watch "Birth of a Nation"
The Southern Whites weren't very happy being ruled by the former slaves....there was a rape epidemic
and people lived in fear of their lives.
My understanding was that the vast majority of white carpetbaggers were white female schoolteachers who merely
traveled down to educate the newly emancipated slaves.
The rape epidemic started 300 years earlier; black men were also victims of both white men and white women.
Birth of a Nation was cuckold fantasy.
You're allegedly Welsh. You're also a Northerner. You have no dog in that fight. Why do you care?

I added the 1870's for Annie.... - Add the 50s, too. No bullshit. Think about it, and what happened during it. Or just honor Big O and John Carpenter.
I have no dog in this fight other than I thought "Birth of a Nation" was one of the greatest movies ever made. - Why? The Gish girl was a smokeshow, bit the rest? Or is this where EAP tags in?
In my opinion...it was "HISTORY WRITTEN IN LIGHTNING!" - I don't understand what that means.
My dad's side was from Wales and my great great great grandfather was a Union Officer with a field commission from US Grant. -You have pics of grand da? What would he say about your feelings?
We have his Civil War Sword, diary, commission paper signed by US Grant and his Colt Navy 1861 revolver.... - Does it work? How'd you keep those things, without family f
knifing each other for them? What's in his diary?
When my grandpa died....all those items were given to my dad...when my dad passed away all those items were given to my brother..."FRODO's identical twin". These items will NEVER be sold...they will be passed down from generation to generation.
President Woodrow Wilson said that Birth of a Nation was "HISTORY WRITTEN WITH LIGHTNING!"
At the time...Birth of a Nation was the most watched and highest income movie ever made...it was sold out for a year non stop!
Originally, it was my intention to have a "Greatest Decade" for only the decades that WE were alive to experience....Aside from a couple people that were alive in the 50's....but I will make the exception for you and Wolfman.
Hi, BP. So you're not the eldest? Have you actually read grand da's words? How did it feel?
Woodrow was a stroke victim. His wife ran the country for him. Why would a white woman praise a movie demonizing black men as rapists of white female virtue? Why would a disabled white man?

I am the eldest, but I don't have any kids to pass it on down. Also, Frodo Biguns twin brother is a control freak. He is actively buying out everyones share of the family summer lake house because it is expanding expodentially with each generation and he wants it all just for himself.
As far as my Great Great Great Grandfather....you will fall out of your chair when I tell you this....at the beginning of the war he was with the 4th Wisconsin Cavalry and he was a Sgt in the Union Army....they were controlling the Mississippi River in Louisiana and Mississippi to blockade the confederates...So one day Gen US Grant visited the troops and gave my Great Great Great Grandfather a field commission to a Color Regiment. My great great great grandfather became a 2nd Lt in a color regiment. It's all proven...we have everything. He wasn't Glory because he wasn't the Captain..he was the guy below Matthew Boderrick in Glory. Not the same colored unit from Glory..but a different colored unit.
