The Federal Gov't then had no problem waging total war on what it considered it's own people. But today, it cringes and protests when you put a pair of panties on a terrorist's head.

that goes right over the head of yer average neo-abolitionist here

I admire Grant...even though he had a hand in killing my kinfolks because he rose above himself...as a 50 year old father of five....you get to where you understand just how much that says about someone.

note on this thread how while we (Dixie pals) are being magnanimous about Grant and his sword that the PC neoabolitionists who call themselves conservative have to come along and crap in the punchbowl as always

they just can’t resist...breastbeating over anything even remotely racial is porn to them

And Sherman was a man of honor compared to 'Spoons' Butler, a/k/a 'Beast' Butler.

Don't even get me started on Butler....LOL

You said it brother.

I was over at Kennesaw a few months back and walked across the battlefield. You have to close your eyes an imagine the war machine in full force. Said a humble prayer for the brave men who fought.... both Blue and Gray......that's hallowed ground and those men deserve a little peace.

But lets not forget ol Geo. Armstrong Custer’s arrogance in trying to send 250 or so troopers to attack 3000 Cheyenne, Souix, and Arapahoe (I think) warriors encamped on the Greasy Grass river. I believe Custer was the biggest idiotic primadonna of the Indian Wars.
