Crazy Civil War Fact! #history

Man doge should have ended that. Also the fact that 155 later we're still paying descendants of those who fought in the civil war but yet they won't give the free black slaves descendants 40 acres and a mule That's crazy

Some real longevity in that family!

Imagine 73$ a month...

A pension for the daughter of a traitor nice

Now another is brewing in the uk

Apparently, that pension never had a cost of living adjustment

My mothers aunt collected up 1916….. $5 per month for each of her brothers (2x)

If true , I'm alright with it, it was obligatory and paid, enough said

In another post I read that Irene was his granddaughter and was adopted by the war veteran to secure the needed assistance to her. Mor plausible.

What she going to do with $73.13/month in 2025? Something from that far back in American History should've had all their bills taken care of.... but what do I know.

In a similar scenario the grandson of the 10th US president just died recently as well.

This is going straight into my favorites playlist

If I wanted to read posts, I'd be on X

$73 more than Union black soldiers received.

My hat off to that veteran. Brother was laying good pipe at 83 years old! Hell yeah

Ain’t to old to cut mustard just can’t spread it around

How old was the woman he got pregnant

Even though there are plenty still on social security.

After a while men stop producing quality sperm and the odds of problems go up. This may have been the case with Irene's disabilities.

Ok but what side was Dad on?

It wasn’t from the US government. It was from the State of Virginia. Her father was a Confederate Veteran.

The funniest part of this story is that she most likely wasn't his actual child! 83? Come on! The mom was probably getting hosed by someone far younger! She got free money for years!!! 😂

total $300000 something haha

we all know why she had mental disabilities. just because you can doesn't mean you should...

I doubt he was he was the sperm donor

😮

Hats off to Moses, he da MAN! I thought me being born when my dad was 62 was old, lol

Hope she got her cost of living increases too!

John Tylers gradnson just passed away.....let thaht sink in

If god favors me may I also have the strength into my 80s

Civil War Pensions were the largest expenditure of the US Government for decades....

How old was the mother in 1930? My man Mose! Laying that pipe

I learned more in 10 minutes than hours of Googling

Something like this is where DOGE got the idea recipients were 150 years old.

“She liked to chew tobacco and listen to gospel music…”

Had a baby at 83? Gramps was gettin it 😂😂 holy shit man 😂... they totally should have scaled it to fit the changing economy over the years tho, $73 isnt much.
Edit: read some comments, i guess they did adjust it, good to know😂

I ve had this on repeat all day

THANK-YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MOSE 🫡

Larry

and she wa noooooooooooooooooot an illegal!

Not south rebels. It's Union soldier.

Wth is $73 a month going to do for someone ? Pay their water bill?

Doge is no joke.

She died 100 years earlier, DOGE found the fraud.

One thing for sure, she wasn't black!

I don’t know why this is not widely distributed, but the risk of child endangerment due to you have to ask God when older people have children at a older age even if it’s just one partner that’s all I’d like say the guy is 83 and his wife is 30 the child is more than likely going to behandicapped sometimes to the severity. I also believe it’s the number one cause of down syndrome. Somebody prove me wrong.

Did they adjust it for inflation?

Awesome
