>>398372Lee Garett Goldson was a Confederate battle commander who was born in Canada, but raised in Virginia. His soldiers often times refereed to him by the nickname
"Barney". He was best known for shouting profanities such as "Make them
BLEED OUT!!!" and "Raise your
morals and TAKE THE
HIGH GROUND!!!". Before the war, he wrote a story about a
purple dinosaur that was friendly to children and seen by townsfolk as a symbol of good luck and brotherly love, and could defend anyone from any evil force, mostly
"ponies". 2 centuries after the Civil War ended, his great grandchildren wanted to start a
kids tv show and, in honor of their great grandfather, based it off of his original story about the purple Dinosaur, and named it
Barney. That is how the tv show
Barney & Friends came to life. They also REALLY hate my little pony.
