We Southerners know that sacrificing for a cause greater than one’s self is to serve honorably"""""........

That is so true. It's so hard to explain to those that have never lived in the South, or care to. It is a Spirit that lives within each of us, which makes us one.

So many lives, so much destruction for a cause. Can we really say it was worth it? To free the slaves?, they are still slaves, what was all those deaths for?
Did you know the first man to own a Slave in America was a Black man? Names Anthony Johnson....this too is the white mans fault.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Johnson_(colonist)

Very good, very truthful, this is what they did. Many stories about how the slaves would leave their plantations to join up with the North, only to come back home to where they were cared for and loved. The north gave them nothing, and left so many destitute after they ravaged the area.

Many of the north did not want to fight to free the slaves. Very romantic to say so now.

Well, then you must be ready to make the Christmas visit to Mark Twain’s house! It really is the best “house Tour” ever...of course, I am a big fan, but the American Gilded Age Christmas in his stationary steamboat of a house is outstanding.

Rather like when Wheeler sowed infernal devices before the army of Sherman. He thought himself ill used when captured confederate soldiers tripped them.

but he didn’t lay any more mines.

The confederates burned their cities on their withdrawal. They did it to Atlanta, they did it to Richmond, they did it to Colombia. Generally they slashed the fire hoses too. Still Union soldiers put the fires out eventually.

Those who betrayed America were Jeff Davis, Lee, Jackson, et al. Their insurrection was ruled illegal in Texas v. White.

Sadly, the victorious Union showed too much mercy, so that treason was not so harshly punished as it should have been.

A system built on slavery is hardly a civilization.

And I am ashamed to say that although I love Mark Twain, I have never been to his house.

maybe this year

To make that a collective assessment of what the confederates did is less than analytical....Richmond was set fire by the Rebs to destroy munitions production when they saw the end was near; Atlanta, the rails and munitions...Columbia was burned by the YANKEES partly due to Sherman’s animosity toward Hampton...nice try.

Also, none of the areas fired were civilian neighborhoods...
in Columbia, the Yanks fired it all......

The novel GWTW won the Pulitzer Prize over Faulkner’s ‘Abslaom, Absalom’. Seems absurd today,
