Or me either. The South lost. End of story.
Round 2 is coming up, bud.
Stories don't end, except in fiction.
I spent my Freshman year as a “Rat” at VMI back in 1970. Lee was greatly honored as a man, but Jackson was at least his peer among the faculty and Cadets.
Both were great men in different ways. Their likes are increasingly rare, like the fading echos of the generation that founded our nation. Who of their stature will emerge to lead us in the upcoming conflagration?
Amen.
The amount of unprovoked vitriolic, hateful and intolerant comments posted at the very beginning of this thread is amazing. Liberals must surely be taking notes.
I also found this to be interesting for another reason.
“The South lost. End of story.”
Anyone who follows these WBTS threads knows all too well that the story did not end with the South’s loss. Indeed, it only marked the beginning of the second major chapter of this country we call the United States of America. (Note that, even still, it is not the United “State” of America.) The fact that you felt compelled to enter a comment on this subject shows that it is not over even as you proclaim that it is. But more importantly, the north’s “victory” over the South allowed for all that has happened since, especially our slow, suicidal move away from federalism toward socialism. The one thing that those who call Confederates “traitors” cannot deny (if they are being intellectually honest) is that Lincoln and the “unionists” — wittingly or not — are the authors of our great decline, and in forcing the people of the Southern states to be part of the “union” made slaves of us all.
End of story? Not even close.
