Would like to know more about the purpose of this event where this photo was taken.
George Peabody died in London,Nov 4,1869,and was a strong Unionist during the War.While business supplied warships and arms to the Confederacy,Peabody lobbied England's "upper crust" and politicians(Disraeli,Gladstone,Palmerston,& Russel) who supported the South and believed she would win,not to get involved in America's war. Peabody seems to have had no involvement with the KGC.
You sir, are right on key with the American public who has been duped by the men that wrote the history that you read. Step outside of the box and look back at it,
"COPPERHEADS" Is a loosely used term of description. True Copperheads "The GOOD ones never got caught. 150 years and still up there in heaven, or down there in hell, ranting about what they got away with. Their virgin white reputations, unstained, untarnished by the truth of what they did and why.
Philanthropist George Peabody? Seriously? It is plane to see that the man (PEABODY) is sitting with a group of Rebel generals and confederate supporters at a resort frequented by the wealthiest Rebels that lived, Yet it is hard for you (and the rest of AMERICA)to see him as a "COPPERHEAD" practically holding hands with GENERAL LEE........The baddest REBEL of them all surrounded by his partners in the rebellion of 1861. The reunion of the confederates in the year
1869, four years after the Civil War.
Do you think that he just happened to be there that day? Another thing is....the most important people sit down, the less important people stand. Even more, the more important you are, the more to the center of the picture you will be positioned. Who is sitting in the middle of the picture

the two most important people....
Step out of the box and look back, do your own research, quit accepting history as it is written by those who would tell you anything good to hide the bad.
For instance, let's take "BLOODY BILL ANDERSON" did you know that the federal government took his 13 year old sister into custody for aiding the Rebel Army? Chained her to a steel ball? Then the building the were holding her and other mothers sisters and wives in collapsed killing several of the C.S.A. women and breaking both of Bill Anderson's 13 year old sisters legs?
It gives you new perspective on why the man was ruthless and rabid for Yankee blood. Big ones, small ones, women, men, armed or unarmed, he really didn't give a sh@t at that point. Would you? The historians of this bleeding heart society candy coat things and totally leave out others. Seek the truth, and no matter what path you follow, you will find it.
Thanks for your input, L.C.
