As for A. Lincoln, you might want to stay away from the theater for a while.
Still the worst war the US has fought.
By this point the Confederate Army was operating on spirit alone, little food, ammunition, ragged clothing in mid winter, massive desertions. God bless these Americans who stayed to the end. There is a beautiful statue of John B Gordon, later Governor of Georgia on the capitol grounds in Atlanta. Well deserved.
General Lees Army of Northern Virginia will attack their old... what?
U. S. Grant as the most over rated General of the war
and General Sherman as the highest decorated War Criminal to not be charged.
Knowing what we know now, I wonder for what was the gain from the Civil War? I know slavery, slavery, slavery...Slavery never ended, it just changed definition. The roots of the post war Democrats are still very real. It is a shame that the words of the Gettysburg Address are all in vain. We are headed to another one with left vs right and free state vs the new slave states.
