Personally, I'd like to thank Gen. Sherman and the Union Army for burning my city to the ground. Nothing left. Because now, we have a brand new city, with one of the strongest regional economies in the country. My wife is from Pittsburgh. When I first went to PB, it was only then that I realized what a favor Gen. Sherman did for us....
I went to Gettysburg 3 years ago. I was overwhelmed with pride and sadness. The people I know from the North are very good, hardworking people. But they will never understand the visceral feelings we have about the conflict.

What? The ruins of Atlanta haven't been meticulously preserved? They've allowed construction on those hallowed grounds? Next you're going to tell me that they allow Coca-cola in Atlanta.
