Default Ewell's sickness inside!!

I will give you an usual thread to read and think about. It concerns Gen. Ewell and what he called his sickness inside him.

He called "sickness inside of him" is another one of those mystery illnesses from the civil war.

Why a mystery?
The clues: He walked and stood awkwardly at times. He would blurt out profanity's without reason or blurt out statements at usual times. He slept wrapped around a stool.

Back then these were mystery behaviors but now there is a name for it today--TOURETTES Syndrome--- I believe he had minor form of it.

Think about it

Historians ignore it.
