I knew it would end being about "us Southrons". Oh, well...just add it the list of transgressions you have tucked away in your desk.

BTW, I did not call you a big meanie. I just pointed that your hate was showing. (That you did not dispute).

You would have probably been better served to prove to the Mrs. that Grant was not the drunk she supposes him to be then attacking ignorance with hate. In fact, he was one heck of a good general. The third best general in the war behind Jackson and Lee (of course).

Miz Darla posts with equal parts ignorance AND hate. Tales of Grant and alcohol are widely embraced, especially among the southron supporters, and are just as widely exaggerated. I'm not sure why your side clings to it. If Grant were the slobbering drunk y'all portray him as then it's even more embarassing that he won so consistently and beat every southern general he came up against.

I consider Hancock to be the best Union General.
or Rosecrans, but then of course, he was from Virginia :)
