NS...
I think you are quite intelligent enough to get my meaning.
Grant was a perfect modern General in every sense of the word. Lee was trained and bred in a style of warfare that died with the advent of the rifled gun. Lee would not do what Grant & Sherman did to achieve victory. He would not make war on civilians, and therefore was unable to break the will of the north, like Sherman did to the South during his March thru Georgia. Total warfare was not in his comprehension. The only Confederate Officers that had foresight in those tactics were Longstreet & maybe N.B. Forrest. If Lee had carried out a scorched earth policy and invaded the North in 1861, instead of fighting a defensive war, things might have been different.

I think you are quite intelligent enough to get my meaning. Oh you made your meaning very clear early on. And all the tap-dancing you've done since then aren't going to explain it away.
To: Non-Sequitur
What other way was there?With the blockades in place, and the foreign temper toward the Confederacy, there likely was a containment option. That, however, would have been disasterous for the South, much more so, I believe, than the pursuance of Lee.
Grant's willingness to sacrifice probably saved more Southerners than any other alternative.

OK Captain Nasty.
I have been doing my best to be cordial, but you seem to enjoy "slapping me around" verbally. I wasn't "tap Dancing" at all. Simply trying to explain my belief about Grant in a less bombastic way. Now, if you can't take a hint, then you ARE less intelligent than I believe you are.:)

To: Non-Sequitur
why of course you SAY that, as to agree with me that what i posted is TRUE means that your group of south-HATERS are a bunch of lunatics.

well, if "do what it took to win" means COMMITTING TENS of THOUSANDS of WAR CRIMES against UNarmed civilians & POWS, the answer is NO!
obviously, you feel that the commission of WAR CRIMES is A-OK.

But the Union managed to win without committing any war crimes at all, much less the TENS of THOUSANDS that you claim.
To: TexConfederate1861
remember N-S is The Minister of DAMNyankee Propaganda & you won't be bothered or upset by his posts.
his stock in trade is evasions,bombast, fiction & 1/2-truths.
nonetheless, he is the ONLY one of the unionists who has a functioning brain & an education.

To: 4CJ; All
once more, the American Indians had (i suspect by ACCIDENT)"discovered" aspirin HUNDREDS of years before Europeans came to this country. it is a NATURALLY occurring part of the bark of weeping willow trees.
and what i posted about Dr Morton being the "inventor" of the chemical formula we NOW call heroin is ALSO correct.
all the evasions, arrogant ignorance, knowing lies & other NONSENSE by the "other side" does NOT change those FACTS!
the "other side" just HATES the truth, especially when they are shown to be ignorant, or worse yet,KNOWINGLY posting FICTION.

SORRY, but you know BETTER.
that is my last word on that subject, as you will ALWAYS deny the DOCUMENTED facts on DAMNyankee WAR CRIMES.
my guess is, that before the day is over, that one of the "fact-checkers" on the forum will "dig up" those posts/sources.

Don't be rediculous, Non... He wasn't a cokehead until
after running the most corrupt administration in history, and long after the war.
Ain't primitive medicine great?
