"I dipped snuff in school, and I chewed tobacco in school," said Ms. Triplett, who lives in a nursing home in Wilkesboro. "I raised homemade tobacco. I chewed that, too. I chewed it all."

Irene said her teachers beat her with an oak paddle. Her parents continued the beatings at home, she said: "When you got a whooping in school you'd be getting tore up when you got back in those mountains."

At school, children would taunt Irene about her father the "traitor," said Charlie Triplett. She dropped out after sixth grade, unable to read or write proficiently. Of her parents, she said, "I didn't care for neither one of them, to tell you the truth about it. I wanted to get away from both of them. I wanted to get me a house and crawl in it all by myself."

So the government is giving money to cacs whose families fought in the Civil War, both Union and Confederate, but the same government won't provide reparations. If any compensation is to be given, only Union soldiers' families should receive it.

The Confederate traitor cacs should get nothing however. Traitorous slave owning cac I have your reward locked and loaded in my closet

I wish our government did more in the form of literacy, this forum is clear indicator that they're loosing the most important war, the war to read and write.

If anything the lives in this report are an indictment of the American government's failures to provide for it's citizens and immediate relatives of service members.
