I doubt very seriously that anyone whose people actually went through the Civil War want another one.

I doubt very seriously that anyone whose people actually lived under tyranny want to do so again.

Our folks who fought on the Rebel side during the War of Northern Aggression did so, generally not because they had slaves, but because the Yankees were “down heah”. Most of them didn’t personally take part in “starting” the war, but when they found themselves invaded they picked up the old shotgun and protected their homeland and families.

If I ever end up in a Civil War, it won’t be proceeded by me running my jaw where it can be heard by just anybody. Peace is preferable, but not at any price,If we’re attacked in our own home, all bets are offand would be tyranny and intolerable.It’s not likely to happen, but then I suppose a lot of Southerners and Northerners alike thought it probably wasn’t going to really happen like it did. Many on both sides probably talked a lot, and if they’d had internet back then, they’d most likely written a lot of bravado that they didn’t feel in the heat of battle. My great-great grandfather was at Shiloh, which he described to my grandmother as “a mess”. We used to visit the “Bloody Pond” there over 50 yrs. ago, when you could still see a considerable amount of the bloodstains that have faded quite a lot in all that time.

"I doubt very seriously that anyone whose people actually went through the Civil War want another one." PPM: "I doubt very seriously that anyone whose people actually lived under tyranny want to do so again. "

My daughter would say, "You go, girl". My mother would say, "amen". I say,"we need to load more ammo".

In life, there are a few oxymorons. They include: "Too many guns, too much ammo, and too much money".

I think I have it, now: Change that we can believe in...
