Everytime that I open up YouTube, I immediately see an ad for Disney Plus. Everytime I click on the menu and tell YouTube that I do not want to see this ad anymore. I've given all three of the reasons why I do not want to see it anymore, but it keeps coming up.
Hey YouTube, stop showing me this ad, I do not want to subscribe to Disney Plus. I give you permission to remove this from my view. You offer that as an option, so do it. And stop censoring the other people and channels I do want to listen to.
In the aftermath of the American Civil War, personal accounts from soldiers offered raw glimpses into the brutal realities of conflict, far removed from romanticized histories. George Cary Eggleston’s Southern Soldier Stories captures the unvarnished experiences of Confederate troops, emphasizing not just battles but the everyday struggles against scarcity and deprivation. This excerpt from his collection, titled “Random Facts,” vividly illustrates the ingenuity and endurance of Southern soldiers amid profound shortages—of clothing, medicine, ammunition, and even food—highlighting how necessity forged both practical innovations and spiritual resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, where survival often depended on makeshift solutions and unyielding determination.
