shouldn't the families of Union veterans killed in combat themselves be entitled to reparations of some sort? LPS5 This whole subject does seem to open up a whole can of worms, so to speak, doesn't it? M

As an amateur genealogist for the last 25 years, I've collected MANY letters from past ancestors... M's question is a good one....One letter I have is from a 24 year old white farmer in Iowa, who as he says to his sister in a letter...."I'm putting down the plow, and joining the Union Army....The Union must be secure and slavery must be abolished...." He was wounded in the shoulder, and died of wounds in the Confederate prison Andersonville, GA. What do the blacks like JJ say to those of us whose families were devastated by the loss of the dead heads of households who were trying to defeat slavery. These families were effected for several generations. ???
