    I had an old friend in high school whose ancestors fought on opposite sides of the Civil War. His dad was a big civil war buff, as a result, and even had a shelf decorated in the living room with one half Confederate and the other half Union, and all the old portraits and memorabilia that survived decorating the respective sides. Even had a little picture of Jefferson and Lincoln at the top.

    Absent the deeper historical context, it was very cute. Did not bother to ask how many slaves his family had owned.

      An ex of mine had their granddad fight for the Nazi’s. It was a pleasure banging her with my brown magnum dong as I looked over at her grandfathers framed picture on her nightstand.
