I used to like coming to the WBTS threads, picking up on whatever the hot topic was, and doing some outside reading to get up to speed or learn the unbiased truth. It's been months since that's happened, and nowadays when I click on the thread title, I expect to find nothing useful in the flamewar.

Bump.

Flamewar double-bump.

I can't remember the last time we discussed drawbacks of Lee's warfighting strategy, and the need for a unified command structure in the CSA. Or how Northern foodstuff distribution persisted and grew in the face of secession.

The last time we discussed trade, it was all about a corrupt war-profiteering scheme in the War Department and how Lincoln and Davis compromised principles to help political creatures make fat profits off organized smuggling through the lines: Davis because he was desperate, Lincoln because.......?
