So many people of Unionist veiw, ask us or themselves, why isit that we study a war, a lost cause or many other ways that can be related to the War.

While speaking to a Creek Indian, learning a new phrase. I'm trying to learn Creek you know. The man told me, "my children don't even try to speak the language and you are trying to speak it. This is good, because if we lose our language, we lose our culture and then we lose a sense of ourselves, which means we will have no futuree and no past, we will cease to be".

This man was about sixty and has had a few days to reflect on his past and the future of his tribe. I relate this to my studies of the War because we will never lose our speech, we think, but our culture is being invaded from the North and the South. They bring veiws other than what Southern people have. They have ambitions that Southern people don't have. They don't care about the Southern Culture or it's history. The War for Southern Independence was one of those wars in Americas history where Lee and Grant fought each other for fours years and Lee surrendered ending the War.

We the ancestors of Unionists, Confederates and Yankees need to learn, what we learn we pass on to others and so long as there are those who wish to pass on the knowledge of such a hard to define War, it will never cease to be and our ancestors who bled the ground red at more places than one or two, will never be forgotten.

This might sound a bit corny, but I thought to post it anyway,,,
