God Bless America...

I wish I had relatives from The Confederacy!

I'd apply for that plate in a fraction of a second!

I expect my ancestors served in the Grand Army of the Republic, but God bless our brethren from the South. Huzzah!

Have you researched the matter? You might be surprised. I was near-astounded at the numbers in my family on both sides, for whom it very much was a war of brother against brother and cousin versus cousin. Several of my ancestors voted with their feet in order to do as their conscience dictated, and I'd dearly have love to heard their heartfelt opinions expressed firsthand; those who supported either side.

there was little of the conscript or extorted duty about them. they stood for that in which they believed, and several died for it. I think they all deserve the honour many still pay them, and I try to. And wonder which choice I'd have made, had I been in their shoes in their time.
