Honor the Men, and the Women who supported them, who even their enemies dared not vilify.

General Joshua L. Chamberlain 12 April 1865

"And now they move. Their dusty forms forge forward into gray columns of march. On they come, with the old swinging route step and swaying battle flags. In the van, the PROUD Confederate Ensign the great field of white with canton of star strewn cross of blue on a field of red, the regimental battle flags with the same escutcheon following on, crowded so thick with the thinning out of men that the whole column seemed crowned with red. The momentous meaning of this occasion impressed me deeply and I resolved to mark it with some token of recognition, which could be no other than the SALUTE OF ARMS...My main reason for doing this I sought no authority nor asked any forgiveness. Before us, in proud humiliation STOOD THE EMBODIMENT OF MANHOOD: MEN WHOM NEITHER TOILS OR SUFFERINGS, NOR THE FACT OF DEATH, NOR DISASTER, NOR HOPELESSNESS COULD BEND FROM THEIR RESOLVE; STANDING BEFORE US NOW, THIN, WORN, AND FAMISHED, BUT ERECT AND WITH EYES LOOKING LEVEL INTO OURS..
"Instructions having been given; and when the head of each division comes opposite our group, our bugle sounds the signal and instantly our WHOLE LINE from right to left, regiment by regiment in succession, gives the soldiers salutation, from the "Order Arms" to the old "Carry" the marching SALUTE. General John B. Gordon, of Georgia, at the head of the column, riding with heavy spirit and downcast face, catches the sound of shifting arms and looks up and taking the meaning, wheels superbly, making himself and his horse one uplifted figure, with profound salutation as he drops the point of his sword to boot toe; then facing to his own command gives word to his successive brigades to pass us with the same position of the manual; HONOR ANSWERING HONOR. On our part not a sound of trumpet more, nor roll of drum'; nor cheer, nor word or whisper of vain glorying, nor motion of man standing again at the "Order", but an AWED STILLNESS RATHER, AND BREATH HOLDING, AS IF IT WAS THE PASSING OF THE DEAD!"

DEO VINDICE!

Why don't we avoid unnecessary complication and make April "Losers Month"?

I do believe, Sir, that 'those people' need no help from the descendants of their enemies telling their side of the events. To be a fair and objective THINKING person one must be exposed to BOTH sides an event before coming to a conclusion.

So it was a total ass-whopping is what I'm hearing.....not only did the Southern traitor men get their asses handed to them, but their women and children were traded for pipe tobacco... ....so, tell me again why the south brought a knife to a gun fight?

That is because they want to go north with the real men, and didn't want anyone to find them.

Gordon's "Reminiscences" are anything but, this has been well established by many scholars.

Picking out one supposed objective account from a CSA General will do nothing to illuminate the root cause of the war. In fact, they argued the cause during the war!!! Men on both sides fought for may reasons... some of which were deeply personal. Some soldiers even fought to preserve slavery. If only the cause could be distilled to states rights..... how noble a cause.

A quote which will lay out this argument:
"Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition."

Alexander Stephens, VP CSA

sounds a lot like this man who was the President of the 'late united states' at the same time. his name was abraham lincoln.

"I will say that I am not, nor ever have been, in any way in favor of bringing about the social and political equality of the white and black races.That I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor to qualify them to hold office or intermarry with white people and I will say that there is a physical difference between the white and black races that will forever forbid their living together in social and political equality. And in as much as they cannot so live, while they remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

The South could have kept their servants if they would have lain down their arms and returned to the union at anytime before the issuance of the "emancipation proclamation" which didn't say that one could not own servants it only said that one had to be "LOYAL' to the 'late united states' to own them.

Instead you kept running your mouth until it became necessary to teach you a lesson, and the darkies all got away.
Sucks to be you.
