Nevermind my last post. I see someone has posted one of the letters.

stand, where did you get the idea Watie didn’t have horses? One of their biggest joys was horse racing. He had plantations and lots of stock before the war.

Anyway, I’ve had enough of this conversation. Doesn’t seem anyone is interested in learning history, some just want to argue and never solve anything. Same crappola that starts wars.

see #639.

i have SEEN a letter to one of the General's cousins, where he SAID that he could NOT afford to buy a horse/sword/sidearms/dress uniform.

there is also a 1st person account of one of the General's staff-members that mentions that he was still riding the "good, young, red mule, borrowed from his kinsman".

Aunt B, when you are dealing with a group of HATE-filled, DIShonest,SELF-righteous DUNCES and/or a TROLL (who is here ONLY to "cause discord" & cares NOTHING for the TRUTH), it's hard to carry on the sort of historical conversations that USED to be on the WBTS threads.

THANKS for your input.

"Doesn’t seem anyone is interested in learning history, some just want to argue and never solve anything."

Respectfully, not true. There have been knowledgeable posters on both sides of this issue, and I know that I'm not the only one who has learned from these threads.

And there have been bozo's and bigots. I guess you have to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff...
