Thanks for the link... I will look into. What I don't want to do is refight the war. I admire Jackson, Lee, Longstreet... but I admire Chamberlain, Grant, and Sherman as well.

When I watch a movie like Gettysburg, I feel the valor of Pickett's charge just as strongly as I feel the valor of Chamberlain's charge down Little Round Top.

There's the problem and the reason we debate. We don't want anyone to refight the War Between the States.

I'll put it quite simply: it's inevitable unless states' rights are restored.

States' rights and other very important limitations against government power are essential to your continued freedoms in the United States. Currently, there are insufficient limitations to prevent a historically indicated unavoidable situation where the government falls into tyranny.

AND THAT IS THE REASON we still debate the War of Northern Aggression.
