30. Dear Professor,
Why do you want to argue with me over the facts I've given you? My family in South Georgia did not own slaves. This is a fact. I am the person using the word "property." In my use, it is not a code word for "slaves." It means their house, their livestock, their crops.

So since you insist that property=slaves, even though I have said plainly it did not, let me rephrase:

my direct ancestors joined the fight to protect their HOUSE, their LIVESTOCK, and their CROPS from being burned and looted. This was a fact of the war.
