Interesting tidbit: my wife’s “grandfather” was born before the civil war. That is unusual, wife is 65.
The revised South 150 years later...
Secession is nonsense. CW2 talk is stupid.
We are a nation. It need not be divided.
It is time to kick the U.S. Commies a$$.
Remember, November is coming.

Now about your last statement. The correct answer depended on your perspective when that horrible war was over.
We have not seen the current degree of Federal Government Corruption and illegal behaviour since Reconstruction.
Some of my ancestors had a dog in that fight and paid a dear price for resisting. Those ancestors went GTT to overcome those problems.
Texas has never been subjected. It will not be now.
Gonna start practicing tonight. May come in handy.....
We may be able to practice it this weekend. Two Boy Scout troops are meeting in Gettysburg tomorrow. One from Michigan and the other from Maryland. North and South. Maybe we can recreate Picket’s Charge.
Bump!
There’s a John Wayne movie about all that... Wayne plays an ex-union guy who bumps into a whole regiment of Confederates heading West because they refuse to reconstruct. My family is still here and we still refuse to reconstruct.
I love that version, too! ;-D
That is interesting. It is a shame they did not get four or five versions to simulate the charge of the unit. Still it was interesting with just one.
Incredible. Makes it seem so real.
wtf.
They should have announced their ages as well as their names, but was probably considered disrespectful in 1930.
Just how old was this guy?
Must’ve been 1 of the literal drummer boys....
bump for reference
When there are 100s of thousands this almost exactly what the youtube sounded like.
I wonder if somewhere in Iraq there are a bunch of former Iraqi solders talking about how they really kicked the American army’s ass?
Sometimes that’s what it sounds like around here.
I don’t mean to start a fight about why it started, and all that. My family has fought in all but the most recent wars. We’ve never been on the losing side. Is that what you do when you lose a war?
I was going to post the same thing! ;-P
No, you’re on the right track- it’s about young Americans whooping themselves up to do-or-die for their cause.
No one in their right mind would fight again to re-instate slavery. But, we might fight again to avoid it...
Gotcha- we seldom get those big flocks but it’s raucous as hell.
It sounds like the coyotes running through our valley.
