Damn right we're indignant! This is another attempt to revise History by blotting out that chapter!! History is not always pleasant, and it is not always something to be proud of either. I think it cuts back to the quote by George Santanya (not sure of the spelling): "Those who forget their History are doomed to repeat it."

As a Southerner, I am proud of my ancestors that fought for the South, but I'm just as proud of my ancestors that fought for the North! Slavery has nothing to do with it. They fought to protect their homeland, and they were heroes in the truest sense of the word!!

Dunshee is a history buff who can quote Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and insists that slavery was the real reason the war was fought.

LOLOLOL!!!!!! I can quote the Tyrant's speech too, but that doesn't mean I can't see through the crap it and his entire crusade against the South was really about!!

What an idiot

I am in general agreement with you, but I would like you to clarify whether you are implying that our yankee ancesters fought to protect their homeland. I've been trying to understand why an intelligent Northerner would enlist to invade the South - for the C.S. was no threat to the U.S. "homeland", just a rightful loss of unjust revenue, the ceasing of the collection thereof being long overdue.
