Did the twitter handle in reference respond…?! I saw the Twitter message posted on how the sf team has scored 30 each game they've played. So it will be a 31 30 Bills SB victory with what I imagine will be a last minute fg that dinks in off the right goalposts to purge the wide right loss to the Giants In the first sb that was supposed to be Bills 49ers until they let the giants beat 49ers to wreck the 1st Bills SB.

Petersburg sounds more like Russian revolution than the civil war. Actually I googled it seems Petersburg VA was a major battle of the civil war. I never invested as much interest in early American military history. I have a great uncle many times removed that was a polish general alongside Pulaski and Kosciusko who came to fight with the American revolutionaries when they lost Poland fight for independence from Russia and Prussian oppression. My. Uncle chose to go to the Belgium Congo instead. So I guess my ancestor chose money over ideology. I tend to be more of an ideology supporter over money so I don't think id get along with that great uncle. I'd have to try to see what impact he made in the Belgium Congo of that era to see if he turned to being an oppressor in the Belgium Congo. I've never researched it probably because I'm disappointed he didn't come to America then for the just cause of independence that they failed to secure in Poland. But if he had come to America then it's likely his brother my direct ancestor would have joined him which would alter my family's history that I'd not be here. So can't be too disappointed in his choice. Edited September 22, 2023 by AuntieEm 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually lived in silver springs MD for a time and had I took more interest at the time to civil war battles I'm sure I wouĺd have checked it out. I skimmed over much of American history due to being more interested in my polish ancestry and that history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more history than that. In fact I think Thomas Jefferson and some early constitution was heavily influenced by pulaski and Kosciusko. Poland was ruled by a democratic elected senate made up of Polish nobility. They elected their king and any issues of law were voted on in polish senate of that time. However any single noble in the senate could veto any proposed law thereby it promoted a very easy way to prevent any legislation that was beneficial to polish interests thru corruption and bribery. Which is why us required majority of senate to pass legislation. It's still doesn't negate corruption but it's not as easy as just buying 1 vote. It takes a lot more effort to corrupt and prevent beneficial laws in the US. So don't know that I'd classify Poland as a doormat to the US currently. Polish people have always been supportive of independence in large part being oppressed by Prussian empire on one side and Russian oppression on the other.
