One of three
The 1950's would have been awesome. Prosperity, patriotism, the rumblings of Rock and Roll and V-8 Fords. My parents once owned a 1957 Ford Fairlane hardtop conv. withg a 312 V-8 engine (distributor in rear like a chevy engine). I could have seen Senator McCarthy chase alleged communists, watched Elvis rock the world, and enjoyed one of the most prosperous periods in US History.
The pre-Civil War South would have been interesting too. John C.Calhoun's home (which is now part of Clemson University) is 20 minutes from home. I would have loved to have met and even served under the command of General Robert E. Lee. Lee and George S. Patton(WWII) are the 2 greatest American miitary commanders ever IMO.
