America never had a “civil” war.

Of course that is probably more than the average high school student gets in four years.

Every American should go to Gettysburg and walk the battlefield. The Round Tops, Devil's Den, and the cornfield to the high water mark of the Confederacy. Spirits abound. History is being rewritten before our very eyes. Teach your children well.

Pickett’s Charge, 153rd anniversary today!

[Uncle Sam 911]

God saved the Union. Every battle that the South could win that had no lasting impact, it won. Every battle that was decisive and meant something was won by the Union. God had plans for this country and he saw to it that his plan had a chance to work.

[Uncle Sam 911]

Imagine for a moment that Lee won Gettysburg? Where would his Army have gone next? Certainly they would have moved on to Harrisburg and camped there, replenished supplies and cut the rail line between Philly and Pittsburgh. But then where? Philly? Back to Baltimore and DC? I think just capturing Philly would have won the war for the South because NYC, New England and all the western states would have been cut off from DC. Fun to speculate 150 years later.
