i don't think so, robert eli fought for slavery and the civil war was for that reason, but some people think otherwise , the truth is that robert lee bought and sold men, women and children, all of robert's ancestors bought and sold people, but i am sure i say that it was the result of robert lee's actions. the number of casualties in america is very high. even i could not cope with the torment of his conscience. for this reason, in the last years of his life, he told others not to make a statue for him at all and not to sprinkle salt on his wound, and this caused discomfort. he was very adamant that this did not happen at all. clarice and stella are both descendants of those that my family had enslaved them. i want to know how they feel about this. my family, i have never talked to them about this , it is not comfortable for me to talk to these people about the slavery era, i don't like to upset them. anderson, i am clarice anderson, my mother was the nurse of this little girl, and my mother's mother had to. do the right thing , don't think too much about what your great grandfather d

he said: robert ely is one of our great ancestors who led the federal army in the american civil war has been in charge i was proud of this great ancestor until i realized that this person fought to support slavery. in 2017 , there were protests in the city of shrewsfield in our state, which shocked everyone. in this city , there was a neighborhood named robert ely, my grandfather, whose name was changed at the request of the city council. it was found and the statue of my grandfather was supposed to be removed from there, but hundreds of people who believe that white people are the superior race started a demonstration and opposed this action. these adventures made me understand for the first time who my ancestors were who were slaves. now i want to know why the people and my fellow citizens of virginia have nothing in common with regard to the monuments and monuments of the confederate state. i want to understand. to what extent has the oppression of slaves by my ancestors affected the lives of blacks in america today? how come richmond , virginia was the former capital of the conf

same, the trickle off the wounded were coming into the town but then on the night of september 18, robert ely made the decision to now bring his army out of maryland and back into virginia. the crossing point to bring the army back was just a mile downstream from shepherdstown. it was a chaotic night amidst the ranks of the army as they tried to get as many of the wounded soldiers onto horses into wagons but also the medical part of the army was woefully inadequate in terms of treating those 8,000 wounded that suffered during the course of the maryland campaign and the soldiers trying to buy or rent somebody's wars. there is one officer, one account that said he got off his horse to go running to talk and by the time he got back the horse was stolen by a wounded soldier who was looking to not be left behind and not be left inld federal lands. all told about 2500 confederate wounded were left behind between the fighting the mountain and sharpsburg but by september 19, the remainder of robert ely'sac armies back acros the potomac river in its entirety and shepherdstown the town of about 1200 pe

guards in the state and this was clearly insufficient even when bolstered by troops from general robert ely's army. during the war, the state produced 125,000 recruits, 21,348 of whom were conscripts, 10,000 of whom were junior or senior reserves in the confederate army. confederate armies in the field took the majority of those men out of the state. consequently it was virtually impossible even with active home guards, to keep in 1860 one level of control and execute confederate military policy with success across the entire state by 1864. as long as the u.s. army remained in the field actively campaigning confederate could never hope to amass the necessary force to suppress the local irregular conflicts in north carolina or the rest of the confederacy. it was this destabilization, loss of control due to irregular warfare that wasn't insurmountable manpower within the state. the most widespread form of irregular war in north carolina was the anti-confederate people's more of self-defense and resistance that emerged among disaffected citizens, deserters from the confederate army, conscript ev

it's from robert skidelsky, who was john maynard biography, and he's quoting an economist i've not heard of before, named eli devins. and he said economists wished to study the horse. they wouldn't go and look at horses. they'd sit in their studies and say to themselves, what would i do if i were horse? is that a legitimate criticism? to a large i mean, actually, we actually have criticisms. there are even. one of the thing if if we didn't understand how a graph could get the blood the way up so high the conclusion would be that drafts don't. so yeah we we do make fun of our of ourselves. but the fact is that that way of reasoning is actually very too prevalent within the economics profession. mm hmm. i want to turn to a criticism that that you make, which is that that the economics profession has been resistant to consider growing questions of distribution, which i think is true, and also of astounding and especially astounding, a quote that you dug up from nobel, robert lucas in thousand and four who said of the tendencies that are harmful to sound economics the most said and in my opinion most poisonous i
