Covered with Glory: The 26th North Carolina Infantry at the Battle of Gettysburg
https://www.amazon.com ^ | March 1, 2010 | Rod Gragg

Posted on 09/01/2018 7:30:09 PM PDT by NKP_Vet

The battle of Gettysburg was the largest engagement of the Civil War, and--with more than 51,000 casualties--also the deadliest. The highest regimental casualty rate at Gettysburg, an estimated 85 percent, was incurred by the 26th North Carolina Infantry. Who were these North Carolinians? Why were they at Gettysburg? How did they come to suffer such a grievous distinction? In Covered with Glory, award-winning historian Rod Gragg reveals the extraordinary story of the 26th North Carolina in fascinating detail.

I asked a simple question in the interest of a discussion, that’s all.

Was it this one?

And if the South had won, what would we look like today as a nation?

The stupid is strong with you.

Thanks for admitting that you were doing nothing more than trolling for a fight.
Much appreciated.

Not very bright, are you?

Nope. For every one of your arguments in support of ‘’’The Lost Cause’’ I’ll defend The Union.

Why yes, I did go to high school. I even graduated, believe it or not.
I'm sorry to hear about you not graduating. (that is what I surmise from your silence on the issue means) Was it the drugs or the alcohol that got ya tossed out?

Your side lost.
And? Every war has a losing side.

Why do you feel the need to keep fighting a dead war?
Why do you feel the need to insinuate that all Southerners are bigots/racists and supporters of slavery?

You need some serious help.
You're still fighting a war that ended long ago.

No wonder you're so bitter and scared, you can't let go of the past.

I wasn't born during that time frame and the war was over by the time I was born (something you somehow have yet to figure out for yourself), so I had no side.

It isn't wasted energy if others learn something.
For instance, look at the info you just brought.
Somebody may not know that info. Thanks for posting it.

If you look at my homepage you can see a list of them

Jim Robinson has tolerated them for decades

Why I don’t know

They do nothing to further our cause in 2018 and are allied firmly with the progressives pulling down statues and waging an anti wihite cold so far race war

None are brave enough to state who they are actually

They work in a group and sow subterfuge and lies in their so called quest to battle lost causers

You or I standing up for our ancestors military honor is lost cause to them

And so it goes

Till I came to this forum in 2000 I never knew such folks existed in conservatism even having lived up north for a decade

But now I get it

It’s basically National Review and NeoConservatism bashing the south for the Democrat party

Which doesn’t make sense to me to try to demonize the most culturally conservative part of the nation

And reliable

The only places we are not is where they’ve moved in.

Many of the south bashing cabal here gets exposed from time to time as liberals or homosexuals and JR zot them

About a dozen remain....and you just encountered one

Oh and he has a history too of tomfoolery

Example

Look at me...with little effort you can substantiate who i am and what I do and my family etc

Same with Ohioan ....

And the original poster of this thread....I know a little about him too..he’s a real guy and devoted Catholic with southern roots

And pelham who is one of my besties here with Mississippi roots and lives in lala land

Yet these South haters

Nobody knows anything ..
Usually not even a state flag

Over the years I’ve learned many are minority

Black or Jewish and think were all Nazis or klan down here like the poster you addressed infers with equating my ancestors as Nazis

Now tell me why JR allows them here to impugne us ...how does that further our fight against deep state

They are on the wrong side plain and simple

That’s a brief synopsis...I hear Jonah Goldberg and ANTIFA in thier screed

They should be shown he door

See anyone of their names pop up on freepathons either?

I battled a number of them over amnesty 14 years ago....those were eventually zotted between Rudy and Donaldus fights

Your side lost.

What an ignorant tool.
My fraternal family came from Ohio, my maternal family came from Germany...both coming to the South in the 1880's.

So much for your blanket characterizations, dumb ass!

You’re doing well but he’s the impaired one.....others will cut and paste you to death

You can’t post anything southern without them showing up being ugly

Bottom line they are race avengers

The foolishness that if they South bash and pander enough then more folks will vote R

Actually it’s not that

It’s their own skin or creed which prejudices them against Dixie while ignoring flaws elsewhere

Philman did great especially for an as he said Germanic Ohioan and relative latecomer to Dixie

It wasn’t a fair contest

Goofball had no backup
