Some of your comments seem downright visceral rather than well thought. The WBTS devasted thousands of families on both sides, but it was fought DOWN HERE. No other Americans have ever been defeated in war, then bullied and robbed by invading hordes of soldiers and carpetbaggers.

These were our ancestors. Our parents knew many of them well and we are proud of them just as we are proud of our parents and the WWII generation.
