Vanessa makes a fascinating discovery about her great great grandfather.
(From Bratprince: My family is from the South....thus, obviously they fought on the wrong side of the Civil War. Among my records is an interesting document. Apparently, my great great (or something like that) grandfather died during the war and his wife was paid $375 in Confederate (worthless later) dollars in compensation for his death. I am not proud that we owned slaves and fought for the South, but I do find the document interesting and it is framed and hung in my hallway due to love of history..good and bad).
