Excellent! Lock and Load and I live in New York.
Says you....Lee's surrender was just a trick to get you Yankees let down your guard... you have really got to admire our patients.
Dixie Ping
It glorifies the Democrats killing 110,000 loyal Americans. Doesn't belong here at all.
That is part of the history of this country, boy.
I suggest, "new-one-that-just-joined-this-forum", one might need to sit down and observe what goes on here.
And while you are watching / observing / learning for a bit, have a nice cup of STFU!
How rude!
Really....Look again Yankee!
Many years after the Civil War, Sergeant Berry Benson, a South Carolina veteran from McGowan's brigade, Army of Northern Virginia, who had enlisted at age 18, three months before Fort Sumter was fired upon, and served through Appomattox, made an interesting statement. He said that when he got around to composing his reminiscences, he found that reliving the war in words made him wish he could relive it in fact, and he came to believe that he and his fellow soldiers, gray and blue, might one day be able to to do just that; if not here on earth, then afterwards in Valhalla. "Who knows, " he asked, "but it may be given to us, after this life, to meet again in the old quarters, to play chess and draughts, to get up soon to answer the morning roll call, to fall in at the tap of the drum for drill and dress parade, and again to hastily don our war gear while the monotonous patter of the long roll summons to battle? Who knows but again the old flags, ragged and torn, snapping in the wind, may face each other and flutter, pursuing and pursued, while the cries of victory fill a summer day? And after the batrtle, then the slain and wounded will arise, and all will be talking and laughter and cheers, and all will say: Did it not seem real? Was it not as in the old days?"
(from The Civil War: a Narrative: Volume III. Red River to Appomattox by Shelby Foote. New York: Vintage Books, 1986. p. 1048).
Too bad you were not paying attention.
Hey, I'm opinionated. Wouldn't be talking if I didn't have something to say.
Hey, everyone has one of those.
