"Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. Captain, that is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave".- Thomas Jonathan Jackson
Really, that is pretty interesting.
First Sergeant Joseph P. Brevett of Company B, 2nd Maryland Infantry
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;- William Shakespeare, Henry V

*Confederate 4x great-grandfather walks into the room*
*Union 4x great-grandfather walks into the room*
*Both look at me and then back at each other*
Abraham (CSA): Is this your...?
Arthur (USA): Yep....
*They both stare at each other and then back at me for a good 5 min*
*Really long awkward silence*
*Still silent, God this is weird*
*Both go for their revolvers*
Im like dis over in da corner.
On a serious note, I had a dream once where I just saw all my ancestors walking around me on a normal day like they were putting in their 2 cents on my mannerisms and such (But I couldn't see them. Like they were ghosts). The Frenchmen kept fighting the Englishmen, whilst the Indian just watched. The Manx spilled the Germans beer and they got into a fistfight. Then there was like that one black guy who just kinda looked around and saw the mess and punched the Jew, because why not?
Least to say, it was a very interesting dream and seemed like it last forever. Even got it written down because of how vivid it was.
I'd probably just ask a bunch of random shit and then write it down. "What was it like?" type stuff.
