He was a very poor.

He was a Hungarian immigrant.

By the time he's 17 years old, his father and seven out of his eight siblings have died and from like disease.

And so he has to come fight in the Civil War because he has no money.

And there was a bunch of wealthy American businessmen that were trying to cede the Union Army.

Like I don't pay attention to news.

I don't read newspapers.
