RULES

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

Your great-grandfather moved to a foreign country that spoke a different language for an opportunity for a better life.
Leaving everything and setting up new was following in the tradition. Not living in fear and poverty afraid to make the changes to make things better.
It's something that all those idiots who are proud of 6 generations of farming as a tradition seem not to understand. Farming is a business that takes knowledge, capital and constant re-investment to potentially succeed.
My grandparents on both sides went bankrupt farming due to bad business decisions. They of course blamed everyone but themselves for it until they died.
