“OUR RIGHTS.”–
24. September 2009 by admin.
The following conversation occurred at Normandy, Tennessee, between a Confederate prisoner, captured at Knoxville, and the correspondent of a Northern paper:
“Are you going to take the oath?”
“No; I’ll rot in prison first.”
“What are you fighting for?”
“Our rights.”
“What are your rights?”
“Well,”—hesitating, and attempting to clear his throat,—-”well, I can’t ‘xactly tell yer; the fact is, I can’t read; but there’s them that does know.”
