I think our boy Pickett has more need of the Johnny Cochran types than romantic confederates. I'd be suing that sob for 10X the true worth of that treasure just for the mental anguish alone plus unstipulated amounts for fraud and breach of fiduciary responsibility and total lack of professionalism, can he be barred from future practice ? Not to mention criminal intent, conspiracy and crimes against humanity. Now when he gets into the courthouse, iffen somebody were to slash some tires, I wouldn't mind atall...the scum.

Suppose the Confederacy had survived. (This is a new idea to me, I even admit it, and so it's really interesting, well for two minutes anyway, but I'm sure "you boys" have read on the subject, by so and so and someone else.) And we assume world civ would still have moved forward, duh, or not a simple duh, technology and all, as it has. Would there still be slavery in the South? The world? Would both regions have survived the world demons Lincoln sought to protect us from, divided? Huh? Huh?

It being the modern world, would slavery have been expanded to more egalitarian standards, to include white people, including women? (Outside the household.) I guess Roger what's his name bot some white slaves in Mississippi for his tv show. Legally.

Not only did I go to school with Betty Stuart xxxxx, head cheerleader,and descendent of Jeb Stuart, but with Barksdales, Picketts, Culpepers, Hugers, Taylors, and Wilsons. I doubt they would curtsey to the queen, so sure are they of their royal status in the Confederacy.
I'm wondering about the Picketts.....They lived on our street. I can't remember their father's name....do you think.......

Well, one of the girls married a lawyer. He won't let that 870k go easily.
