LOL. You have to watch that "etc.". A lot of the most passionate supporters of the CSA were women. I've been reading the history of the county where my folks came from and even though the region was generally Unionist, one of the eye-catching things was the devoted turnout of pro-CSA ladies waving and "etc." to the soldiers passing through on the East Tennessee railroad on the way to the front.
Been a pleasure taking part on a thread where strong disagreements are not accompanied with personal unpleasantness. Thank you.
