[@thinkandrepent3175]

God Bless Mrs. Greenhow! What an amazing woman!

Hello all, first one. Great presentation Ms. Zombeck.

[@lizlittle1641]

Thank you for sharing! I love the stories about real people.

[@chrisbray1640]

Great story well told, didn’t learn about that in school!

[@SaraLovesYouNC]

Wow!! I had no idea that Rebel Rose was buried here in Wilmington! I will go visit her grave.

[@pnyarrow]

Really interesting -thanks for sharing.

[@julianstuart2851]

An interesting story, told well.

[@jeffcolorado]

Interesting story. Did they recover the gold she was carrying?

[@mickeyholding7970]

Salute to Rose O'Neal Greenhow

[@corvus-pt1wd]

Absolutely not, she was a Confederate

[@teamcougars]

Such a courageous woman ❤❤

[@SouthernGentleman]

A great story

[@michaelamanek8908]

The Supreme Court sits on the site of the old Capitol prison ! WHO KNEW ?

[@victorianidetch]

Exactly what I was thinking, how appropriate.

[@DrewSohl]

Very appropriate location.🇺🇲

[@stus1171]

It’s interesting how many prominent women during the Civil War ran boarding houses or hotels.

[@SouthernGentleman]

Never convicted of treason

[@wmschooley1234]

So what happened to the gold? It seems rather ironic that she literally died from the weight of her success in foreign fundraising. Drowning with 2,000 in Confederate gold around her neck and not at the end of union hangman’s rope just seems like karma. Respectfully, WS

if there was a assassin creed game in the civil war she would be one of your Templar targets

Nice reference! Man we need that game.

[@eziorobetthesecond4776]

@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust I mean she was socialite and a rich woman of power and influence at the time

[@raigarmullerson4838]

how much gold was she carrying?

[@stephaniek1076]

I think they said $2000 worth of gold.

God Bless the Confederacy❌

[@robocam0197]

A confederate spy drowned - too bad, so sad, bye-bye.

[@rebelsoul5980]

The Union conquered not only sovereign Confederate Territory, but also sovereign Native American Territories! The last Confederate General to surrender was a Native American who was the leader of the Cherokee Territory! Learn true history!❌

[@richj6192]

The Union was outraged at the Confederacy for slavery and I guarantee her stay in prison was better how slaves where treated.

[@IamMysterium]

Well, not all of the Union was outraged, since slavery existed in the North during the War. The Second Lost Cause Myth is that the North entered the war to end slavery. It did not. Rather, it entered the war to Preserve the Union, a point largely forgotten today. Slavery was legal and the South did not have to secede over it. One might say that the North killed 600k people to conquer and subjugate the South, not unlike Imperial Rome or the Soviet Union, to keep the South in the Union. Not a supporter of Confederacy, just saying....

[@robocam0197]

@@IamMysterium And one might say the south killed lots of black people before the Civil War, and after they lost and slavery was illegal, the south kept killing blacks for another hundred years Just saying...

[@IamMysterium]

@@robocam0197 Blaming "the South" shows you are a fool. But here is what you and your ilk are doing. You are placing Slavery SOLELY upon the South instead of the Nation as a whole. Does that make you feel better? Feel less guilty?

[@IamMysterium]

@@JT___TV I don't know what you're talking about. But you sound like every other "commenter" without any YT content: a Troll.

[@stanleyquick6922]

@@IamMysterium I agree. The fact of the matter is, that the average southerner didn't have any slaves at all. And the theory that only blacks were slaves in the U.S., by some of these people, shows sheer lack of study. There were both black, and white slaves, who were originally indentured servants, thanks to no other than a black man, by the name of Anthony Johnson, the first legal slave owner in the U.S. Funny as to how this is never brought up by others...

[@theresaholguin699]

Above all she was traitor. She was only impressed for a short period of time. She drowned when the ship ran aground. Who cares
