The discussion is about Sherman, who was wearing a Federal Uniform, talking about exterminating people.
My reference to the Cavaliers is historical. My family, who were Southern slaveholders, from middle Tennessee, by way of North Carolina, by way of Virginia, by way of England, by way of Lancashire. They were THE cavaliers. The English Yeomen class. The one's who fought Cromwell. Capiche?
When Sherman said his famous line about exterminating or banishing a certain class of people (as far South as Tennessee) he was talking about my family. He wasn't talking about the Scots-Irish.
