THE POLITICS OF WAR: JUDGE JOSHUA CHILTON MURDERED BY UNION MILITIA LEADER / POLITICAL RIVAL

I found an old favorite digging through archives this evening. "Homeland and Hinterland: The Current and Jacks Fork Riverway".

The book is a fascinating historical examination of Southeast Missouri Ozarks history. Pages 60-61 record a unique example of how some men were targeted for more than their loyalty to either North or South. Judge Joshua Chilton is an example of such targeting.

Chilton is said to have been a friend of both Confederate General Sterling Price and Confederate Governor Jackson. However, the book notes that Chilton's family stated he tried to remain neutral.

The Union party who murdered him was led by a Lt. Reed (who just happened to be a political rival of Chilton's before the war).

A screenshot of the account provides the rest of the story.

Fake News and False Information On Mississippi Scalawag Flag Proposal

WREG News Channel 3 (Memphis , Tennessee) is reporting : Photo credit: WREG News 3 "Laurin Stennis’ flag design has gained so much popularity that even those who order the flag want her autograph.

I would argue absolutely not because every time it comes up we fight about and we get tense.” Okay, where to start? WREG reports that the flag is...

How We Got Here , What Can We Do?

For as long as I can remember both the Republican and Democratic parties have had their fair share of Lincoln defenders. The Republican Party was founded with the election of Abraham Lincoln thus Lincoln has been the party's trademark so to speak. The problem with this is that the Republican Party, presents itself as the party of smaller government, states rights and defenders of the Constitution and freedom. It is a problem because Lincoln was a proponent of big government, and committed acts that violated the Constitution. Ah, but defenders of Lincoln proclaim that President Lincoln had to violate the Constitution to "save the Union." This defense of Lincoln by the Republican party has been effective from the end of the War Between the States until November , 2020 At the time of America's "Civil War" one could describe the Republicans as the Liberals and the Democrats as the Conservatives. This began to change with the election of President Franklin D. R...

On the evening of April 14, 2014 Edwin Turlington, a U.S. Army Veteran and Private Investigator who lives in Delaware County, Oklahoma noticed two men starting a fire on adjacent property owned by his brother.
