» Unreconstructed - Re: the march...
Dear Mr. Swogger,I was very amused by your obviously "Yankee" opinion,and profile of Mr.Sherman.In my humble "Rebel" opinion,neither Sherman,or Grant,were great Generals.You,in usual "Yankee" tradition,neglected to tell Vicki,that both "gentlemen",were total alchoholics,and Sherman was at best a psycopathic Barbarian.
This fantasy that ya'll have poisoned us with,for the past 140 years,has become a lame,and feeble excuse,for "Yankee" expansionism,that continues to this very day.
The truth is that the ACW,was not in fact about slavery,but economics.The heavily populated North,rich in industrial wealth,but very poor agriculturally,relied upon the Southern states,with our long growing season,just to eat.You people still couldn't grow enough to eat.
Maybe Vicki should ask why,if Sherman was such a Military genious,did an outnumbered,barefooted Army keep him stuffed in a whiskey bottle for 4 years.
Maybe Vicki should also study more about the more moral officers,and gentleman,like Longstreet,Lee,and Stuart.
