The Civil War is about to loom very large in the popular memory. We would do well to be candid about its causes and not allow the distortions of contemporary politics or long-standing myths to cloud our understanding of why the nation fell apart.
The coming year will mark the 150th anniversary of the onset of the conflict, which is usually dated to April 12, 1861, when Confederate batteries opened fire at 4:30 a.m. on federal troops occupying Fort Sumter. Union forces surrendered the next day, after 34 hours of shelling.

That you won't answer a logically presented question dealing with your ancestors' motivations speaks for itself.
So did N-S show up with a new name?
haven’t heard nor seen him!
I'm not going to rehash with you, just not worth my time, that's all.
Well can you point me to one of those or can "one of you guys" help you in finding one.
BTW. I am not sure what one of "you guys" means. Everything I post here is what I think. I don't coordinate with anyone albeit I have been alerted to threads by other members who think I may be interest in joining. Those have been both pro-Union Freepers and Pro-Confederate Freepers who have pinged me when there was some good debate going on.
The homosexual thing is a totally new one on me. I admit I could have missed it when these thing degrade into 1000 post 'yo momma wear combat boots' insult fests, but really, I have never seen that fag insult before.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. ;~))
So you get to ask the questions you like (which was answered BTW) but no one is deigned worthy to ask one of you? Must we apply for permission?
Don’t go away MAD thump*ss, just GO AWAY:)
I do. If you are a Christian, well, practice what you preach.
Nawww.........
I’m happy where I am in life.
Were that you could state the same.
More’s the pity...........for you.
You DO have a problem with my being a Christian?
From my perspective, I do practice what I “preach”.....even though I do not “preach” in the larger sense of the term. I leave that to the “preachers”. I prefer to say that I practice what I believe.
What is a bit unsettling is the thought that you may wish to practice what you believe....since you believe, apparently, that offing a president whom you vehemently disagree with is a good idea and so long as ‘good Southern (Confederate) lead’ isn’t wasted in the process.
He had by far the worst fake Southern accent I have ever heard. He was not the right actor for the part in what was otherwise a fine production.
His part really distracted me from that "suspension of reality" necessary to enjoy any film or play.
The best in that film was the guy who played John Reynolds --- "There's going to be the Devil to pay.'
He looked the part and sounded the part.
Thinking now, I guess that was the guy playing Buford who uttered that line.
If you really want to find them it only takes a quick search. A quick search on this thread alone pulls up posts 609 & 701. Can't imagine what is in the posts that have been pulled. Don't see how you can miss them....they pop up on almost every one of these threads, just like Cowboy is tellin' ya.
Yep, it was an account he set up in 2001 under Drennan Whyte. Mr. Whyte was exposed as NS on this thread and is now gone too.
Thumpranger, and his homo-marxist band! LOL!

Rhetoric goes way over the top when people run out of arguments. Lets try sticking to the facts.
Actually pokie led off with #319, but don’t let that stop you from a good spin.
LOL!
Dang good point. ;o)
Ditto - The example you give is pretty much in response to the accusation. But, see there, you really can find them if you choose.
rocrr - Try again. BTW, are you supportive of the homosexual agenda?
Wow - good work southernsunshine. I missed that one
Try again? Suit yourself, ignore the truth when it runs contrary to your narrow agenda. All that does is illustrate your lack of honesty or sincerity.
