Hatfield Mccoy Feud

[Harry Dresden]

anyone check this Mini Series out on the History channel?.....

Yes. I watched all three. It was an excellent production and the acting was wonderful.

It was amazing how the Hatfields just took matters into their own hands and executed those kids. Of course they stabbed and shot the Hatfield brother but it was crazy that they just decided to do it and it was done.

Holy crap, now that was a feud.

and that Hatfield brother was always trying to defuse things between them....

Then gets knifed twenty times and finished off with a gun shot. No good deed goes unpunished.

In the series both the Hatfields and McCoys fought together on the side of the Confederates.

But I read some where that the McCoys fought for the Union??

Yup...

"Asa Harmon McCoy was murdered on January 7, 1865. Jim Vance, the uncle of Devil Anse Hatfield, despised Harmon because he had joined the Union Army during the American Civil War. Harmon was discharged from the army early because of a broken leg. He returned home to a warning from Vance that Harmon could expect a visit from Devil Anse's Wildcats. Frightened by gunshots as he drew water from his well, Harmon hid in a nearby cave, supplied with food and necessities each day by his slave, Pete, but the Wildcats followed Pete's tracks in the snow, discovered Harmon and fatally shot him."
