As I expected, this is less a discussion than a sermon.
My guess is that this whole post was generated to accumulate hits, at which vain purpose it has succeeded. However, no new information was made known and no minds were changed so this has been little more than an ego trip on FR’s dime.
I don’t feel the need to be preached at so I’ll decline any further involvement.
Your post #285 seems to want to discuss not the last Civil War, but the next, about which at this point I have no interest.
IronJack: "My guess is that this whole post was generated to accumulate hits, at which vain purpose it has succeeded."
Wrong on both counts.
First, my purpose here is to provide data on commonly seen Neo-Confederate myths, so people who see them will be fore-warned and fore-armed.
Second, I've seen several Civil War threads run over 1,000 posts, and this one isn't even close.
So if that were my standard, I'd be a "failure".
But it's not, and in fact I will soon have to abandon this thread and get on with my life... ;-)

New to whom? New to you, or new to other FReepers?
I'm actually delighted with the responses, and consider all the posts from our Pro-Confederate FRiends to be more-or-less par for the course.
As for minds changed and ego trips, well, we never really know, do we?
IronJack: "I don’t feel the need to be preached at so I’ll decline any further involvement."
So, you already know everything there is to know about the Civil War?
Have a great day!
