Virginia County secretly removes Confederate flag from official seal

The removal of the Confederate flag from Amherst County's official seal has upset Southern heritage groups, who contend residents weren't told of the change. County officials acknowledge the image was quietly removed in August 2004 to avoid an uproar.

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.

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.

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.

[TexConfederate1861]

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.:)

So the cokehead done good, huh?

Well I'm sorry if your own words are suddenly objectionable to you.

[stand watie]

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.

[stand watie]

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.

No, to say that I beleved what you posted was true would mean that I was lying. And I try not to do that.

[stand watie]

it's time for you to head over to DU and/or back under your log.

essentially everybody is HUMILATED that you call yourself a Freeper.

Well if that was your choice then I'd agree with you. But the Union managed to win without committing any war crimes at all, much less the TENS of THOUSANDS that you claim.

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.

sorry, but you KNOW better than that.

i've posted the TRUTH several times with original sources.

You have done nothing of the sort.

[stand watie]

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.

free dixie,sw

[stand watie]

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?
