>>"barbarously the rebels acted in treating Union POW's and loyal Union men, who were murdered by the hundred and hanged by the dozen respectively, but it is still true."

I admittly don't know a whole lot about the Cival war. I have learned a lot more since I moved to Georgia. Maybe they should rename it to Sherman instead of Lee. It is amazing and a testiment to real leadership that America has become so united since the war ended. There is some animosity but more than most countries have been in the past and present. Somebody the other day told me that Ohioans may not be treated so badly in the South until I told them Grant, Sherman were both born in Ohio.

I bet the people that bitch the most about changing the names because they are offensive to them or their race wouldn't have a minutes trouble naming it Sherman or Lincoln even if that meant it was offensive to us Southernors. The truth of the matter is we Whites especially Southern Whites deserve scourn an punishment for what our Great, great, great Grandfathers did, at least in their own miniscule brains.
