Albert Parsons and the Confederacy

Albert parsons runs away at 13 years old, lies about his age to join the confederate army. At 17 he is a change of heart and becomes this active person fighting for the rights of formerly enslave people. He starts his own republican newspaper called the spectator. That's the only thing that's ever happened in wako. The confederacy fled there when the war went bad. A couple of other things, but, hey, wako beats out amarillo and lufkin in my hurray jexas list.
