Talk:Abbeville, South Carolina

message: This is absolutely accurate name for what happened.  It IS a horror that the Government can step in and take away people's land whenever they want.  Shooting the messengers was not right, and perhaps these three do deserve the death penalty.  But, I can not blame them in the least for being so angry about loosing their property.  Now...  This section doesn't read right to me.  It seems like an attack on all people who don't "recognize government authority," even though sometimes Government oversteps its authority (consent of the governed).  This does not read like an unbiased encyclopedia article, and completely distracts from the subject at hand, Abbeville, South Carolina.  I'd prefer that the author re-write this section to made it less of an attack on individuals, and more about the town.  However, if the author does not, I will re-write this section myself, leaving the important facts.  How about more on the downtown area, "session hill," or the Burt Stark Mansion?  4.152.204.111 00:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I added a paragraph on Anthony Crawford (lynching victim), which is of greater historical significance than the " 2003 right-of-way standoff". Felsic2 (talk) 18:49, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

message: You say: It was on May 2, 1865, in the front parlor of what is now known as the Burt-Stark Mansion that Jefferson Davis officially acknowledged the dissolution of the Confederate government, in the last official cabinet meeting.
The Wiki page on Jefferson Davis says: President Davis met with his Confederate Cabinet for the last time on May 5, 1865, in Washington, Georgia, and officially dissolved the Confederate government. 
We could use a little more detail about what actually happened at these two meetings. May 2nd was the date when President Johnson offered a reward for the capture of Davis and others. I don’t know if anything else happened on that day. Valetude (talk) 17:12, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
