He tried to micro-manage everything. It's hard to believe he would be anything but a control freak.

I'll give you that, he was largely at fault for the south losing, that and attrition. But he never invaded Georgia when governor Brown would become uncooperative and act as a sovereign. He did not do as Lincoln did and and raise an army for the purpose of invading to force at the point of the bayonet compliance. One of the things that irritates Southern or's the most is folks from Connecticut moving to the south and then begin tell us how they did it up north. If'n you want it the way it is up there don't come down here.

But he never invaded Georgia when governor Brown would become uncooperative and act as a sovereign.

And why would he? Wasn't Georgia a sovereign state? Even though Davis did what he could to destroy the concept of states rights there was a limit to what he could get away with.

He did not do as Lincoln did and and raise an army for the purpose of invading to force at the point of the bayonet compliance.

On the other hand, if Brown had declared secession and bombarded a confederate garrison at For Pulaski or somewhere like that how far do you think he would have gotten?

One of the things that irritates Southern or's the most is folks from Connecticut moving to the south and then begin tell us how they did it up north. If'n you want it the way it is up there don't come down here.

And I can guarantee you that I cannot think of anything in this world that could ever make me move down south, so you can unload your shotgun and relax. This is one Yankee you will never have as a neighbor.
