Ughh- It is obvious that you are far more up on Civil War history than me. I try to avoid these threads as they are pointless to any modern issue and just tend to make unecessary enemies.Post away! This is not a hate-n-debate society to my knowledge. At least you are a conservative - some of the posters are self-proclaimed dims that despise all thing conservative.
As the site proclaims on the home page, FR is 'working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.'
I know when I am beat in a thread or out of my league. I get an education every day from this site. I know some things and others know things I don't know. Only a fool picks a fight when he doesn't stand a chance. I choose to admit my certain areas of ignorance and learn from others.
