It's a nice compilation, Papa. Thanks for the post.

Thanks; I don't do this for these blithering idiot neo-confederates, but for the many who might come across these threads not as well equipped to handle their half-truths and outright lies about the history of the American Civil War.

but for the many who might come across these threads not as well equipped to handle their half-truths and outright lies about the history of the American Civil War.

I am one of those still ill equipped in this area. So reading this was both informative and heart-warming: reminded me of America wherein people actively exercised the gift of thinking and directed it to worthy causes.

Thanks again, Walt. Should we not "meet" until then, have a very happy Holiday Season.
