Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

You're leaving out the fact that Mark Twain was also a confederate and he died in 1910. So why should I fucking care what he thinks?

Because you just misrepresented the man Clemens was. If you actually read the history, he was in the Confederate Army for two weeks, and then got out. Then he gently used his friendship with Ulysses Grant to encourage the President to write his memoirs, providing for his family.

For like a week and then he financially rescued the dying Grant when he was grown
