NC: “Are there African Americans living in Franklin County today whose ancestors owned land stolen by carpetbaggers?”

“The tax payers of Franklin paid $8,000 to destroy the documents, including the basement cleanup. I could have laminated every document for less than $8,000,” said Torrent.

”My suspicion is that in and amongst all those now destroyed records, was a paper trail associated with one or more now prominent, politically connected NC families that found its wealth and success through theft, intimidation and outrageous corruption.”

Last summer, the Clerk of Court in Franklin County, N.C., Patricia Chastain discovered documents dating back to 1840 in their courthouse basement. After organizing a project with the local historical society to preserve these valuable documents, the government intervened. And now the documents have been destroyed. Lost forever.
Some records were ruined by the mold, but most were completely viable.

    Brock,

    If this is true, it's unbelievable! My God, what a travesty! Apparently the damned carpetbaggers are still pulling the strings 150 years later!

    Yours for secession soon,

      Brock,

      Thanks for the video footage of the citizens confronting the miscreants that burned the records. This is the most horrible example of political correctness and bureaucracy gone a muck I've ever seen, and there can never be any adequate excuse nor explanation to justify it. All those who were involved should immediately lose their jobs, be stripped of their pensions, and be barred from ever holding a position of public trust for the rest of their lives. Even the poisoning of the Tumer Oak in Auburn pales into insignificance when compared to this crime against the citizens of NC, and in fact the citizens of the whole country. We can plant another tree, but what has been lost in that incinerator can never be retrieved. It's Sherman's bummers and re-construction all over again! What a sad sad day for NC and the country.

      Yours for secession, and soon!
