Charles Schorn, who received the Congressional medal of honor for capturing the last flag at Appomattox was the buglar, and an 18 year old German immigrant who lived in Pomeroy, Ohio. He was a barber...we laughed because of his last name, Schorn.
He was my children's great great great grandfather. My husbands ancestor.

Pomeroy is right smack dab on the Mason Dixon line, the Ohio River. Nobody I know, North or South, and we have a passel of friends who grew up in the South, ever supported slavery. We have got to stop casting blame at people now living and making problems where there are none.
