    The Trail of Tears | Forever Lost

    The Trail of Tears | Forever Lost

    "In the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning, I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west.

    One can never forget the sadness and solemnity of that morning. Chief John Ross led in prayer and when the bugle sounded and the wagons started rolling many of the children rose to their feet and waved their little hands good-by to their mountain homes, knowing they were leaving them forever. Many of these helpless people did not have blankets and many of them had been driven from home barefooted." - From the Journal of Private John Burnett, 2nd Regiment.

    Join us as we teach you about the Trail of Tears, its root causes, and its effects.

    Margret Sanger | Intentions

    Margret Sanger | Intentions

    Put her name into a search engine and you will be provided with a variety of titles such as “political activist”, “feminist”, “American social reformer”, and “sex educator”. You will be treated to the history of a person who fought hard for women’s reproductive rights. To be clear, all of this is true.

    We can have two conversations. The benefits of contraception and reproductive rights while being honest about the person and her stated, evil intent behind both.

    Today, we take a deep dive into the motivations of Margaret Sanger, what – according to history – drove her “solutions”, and why even Planned Parenthood is beginning to disavow her.
