[0.E.O]

The Confederates were — in the end — outgunned, outmanned, and — the killer — out-technologied.

So were the colonists. But they won.

Though some Southern leaders wanted to continue with a long-term guerilla war, Christian compassion ruled that out for many Southern leaders.

Oh please. More like common sense and no desire to prolong the fighting.

Only those who get to teach their interpretation of the facts in Government schools.

Confederate wannabes have been teaching their own fairy tales almost from the moment the firing stopped.

Different wars. Different facts. Bottom line: I am glad the Colonists won. I am sorry that the South lost, and most (though, apparently, not you) give them credit for giving it a noble effort with no lack of commitment or courage on their part.

Okay. Will not argue that point. Probably a bit of both.

Fairy tales abound on both sides, if you wish to speak in those terms. The biggest of which is that Robert E. Lee was a traitor.

So, alas, we have come full circle and gotten nowhere!
