    In the span of 30 minutes i learned i had an ancestor who lived to be 104 and was a civil war veteran. He left his home in Alabama to join when he was 16. I then learned her fought for the union.

    To find the real shitty people you’ve got to go back on the other side of the family to the conquistadors in California.
