Today we'll be talking about the first guy from the South to show up on this podcast that wasn't super into slavery, Newton Knight. This dude, while admittedly kind of a simpleton based on the way he sounds in his quotes, was anti-Confederacy and managed to lead a whole splinter group of other like-minded swamp folk. They didn't do a whole lot of significant damage, but man did the rebel leadership hate them, and that's good enough for me. Also dude had some comedy gold in his quotes. Enjoy!
