Anyway, that was after reading to appomattox, the only book we had to learn from. I was trying to figure out how the armies actually got around from Sailors Creek in this area where most of the heavy fighting takes place. I remember the editor of the Farmville Herald some historian asked him how the troops got from highbridge to farmville they were wanting to know. I remember he said it would take a philadelphia lawyer to figure out how the armies got through this area. Im not from philadelphia but i think ive figured it out.

Americas meandering Journey Towards freedom justice and equality. Its the foundation from which our nation emerged on to the world stage as a world power.

This county had 18,000 people in it. More than half were slaves working on the tobacco farms. As of 1860, 120 people lived here in Appomattox Courthouse.
