Lady Eileen, don't let the Wlat Brigade get you down. I see they have already arrived!

LOL!!! THe History Channel has recently been doing a documentary on the last defining battles of the Civil War. Surprisingly (sarcasm) they disagree with the Wlat Brigade on many subjects (including the claim that no blacks served as Confederate soldiers). So who should I trust - the History Channel or the Wlat Brigade? I'll take the History Channel.

I thought the show pretty balanced. The one thing I think was factually wrong was Lee's going forward to take communion with the black person. I'd like to see the documentation on that.

The show gave Grant and Sherman credit for helping to avoid the bloodshed that usually attends failed revolution.

Sorry!
I was in the midst of posting a thread today and almost missed your reply.

As evidenced on this thread, Wlat and his minions seem to be still tinkering with their super-secret "Cut and Paste" machine! :)

I will take the History Channel over Wlat & his ilk any day.
