"The bumbling invasion force on the Red River Campaign consisted of an operation that, in full, entailed almost 50,000 men. As always, capitan, you simply do not like the fact that your beloved yankees got their asses handed to them again and again and again in TEXAS no matter what they threw at the state. So instead of admitting the facts you spin them, obscure them, and pretend as if they weren't anything worthy of mention."

All of the significant battles in the Red River Campaign were fought in ... LOUISIANA.

You crack me up.

Yeah, as in near the Louisiana-Texas border in the general proximity of the Red River. That is why I stated of the yankee campaigns that "Every single one of them collapsed or was turned away at the border."

Of course you would rather obscure the reality of the confederate success in defending Texas with artificial geography disputes and semantical quibbling. That's due to the fact that your arguments are nothing more than semantical quibbling. You have no facts, no data, no substance - only word games.
