Tensions are running high in Virginia. On April 4th, 1861, the Virginia state legislature had voted not to secede from the union, but Fort Sumter was fired upon eight days later. This set in motion a chain of events that led to President Abraham Lincoln to not only call up thousands of volunteers but directly ask for three militia regiments from Virginia to join the army being raised in Washington. Virginia's governor, John Letcher, felt that this was unconstitutional. When the legislature voted again on April 17th, the vote to secede carried, it has been two weeks since that vote, and now a delegation from the Confederate Congress has traveled to Richmond to negotiate the role Virginia will play in the upcoming conflict. Will she join the newly formed confederacy under President Jefferson Davis, or will she stand alone? Will she declare herself an independent republic just as Texas had done 25 years before? What if Virginia had declared herself a republic and stood independently in the face of the federal government?
Autorenporträt
I am 60 years old. I grew up in a very religious home. My father was a minister who took his own life in 1982. I'm the youngest of three surviving brothers. My sister died in 2009. I never graduated high school. I also made a modest salary as metal fabricator in HVAC air and heating. I am currently retired. I live with my older brother Robert and his wife Denise Bateman, whom I love dearly. I have three dogs: Ruger, Roppertone and Forest, they are my bestfriends. Life is good and I'm happy to be alive. God bless you all need to understand your value, you are gifted, blessed, you are worthy to be loved, and respected. The path we're traveling can be hard, lonely, tiresome,. Well, you get what I'm saying, but we have A God, A savior, The Holy Spirit, whom watches over us, protects us, gently pushing us toward the edge where we can jump up and fly or basically fall to our death, so let's be careful out there.
