Interesting. Initially, I feel some type of way over the Confederate thing. My 6th great Grandfather, Paris O'Ree fled slavery at 15 and ran, ending up fighting for the British in the late 1700s. So, ya know, Confederate, hits a nerve.

But I feel ya about him falling in love with a Native American. it happened quite a bit. My ancestors also mixed with the Aboriginal peoples.

There's an intersting heritage there and one worth exploring. It's one that, to me, emphasizes that despite everything, we are one race, human.
