You know, this set of orders still exists as part of the Official Records of the war. Next time, I have got to get Ken Burns to really look at some of the things that actually happened. But you know Ken, he likes a good story, though too much at times, it seems.

Better yet, next time consult a dictionary before you post your crap. You said that the ships blockaded Charleston before the south opened fire. I don't see the orders to blockade included in instructions from Welles. Is it possible that you don't know what 'blockade' means?

Get real. For all you know he was from there and had an ancestor who fought for the South. They were criminals for damaging someone's car.

So exactly what was the difference between the Iranians seizing our embassy in 1980 and the action of the South in 1861?

Then I humbly suggest that they honor their ancestor's memory by returning down south as soon as possible. Interstate 35 runs south as well as north.

You are so odd. Why can't they honor their ancestors in any state? Guess the north still hates Southerners even if they were born in that state and had ancestors who were born there too. Why so much hatred for another part of the country? I sure am glad that I do not live with that much hatred.

We didn't lose Vietnam. Some politicians, so-called journalists, and others like to think we did. And, as one who saw the army from within all the way from the 1960's to the 1990's, I can say that the army eventually came out of the Vietnam experience stronger and leaner.

And yes, the Confederates lost, but I'll still proud that my ancestors served.

Likewise. The only thing that I would add is that we would hold court right there and then!

Keep the damned thing south of the Mason-Dixon line where it belongs.

Glad to see you think it belongs somewhere.

Interesting. Wonder if it was the same perps who keyed the "Bush/Cheney" bumper sticker off of my car when it was parked in Madison, WI?

I guess the party of Peace, Love and Diversity knows no bounds...

" Guess the north still hates Southerners even if they were born in that state and had ancestors who were born there too."

You are so right MamaB. My ancestors helped to establish the Massachusetts colonies. One was a General in the Union Army and another received the MOH for saving the lives of many Union troops in the same state that my Great Great Grandfather helped to defend from a Union invasion while serving in the Confederate Calvary. His brother, a Confederate soldier died in Virginia.

Hard to imagine evil powerful enough to pit brother against brother and father against son. I have no doubts that it still exists today...
