Cump there are a lot of things said about the Union troops that I find myself defending them against. One is to say the South was not a formable enemy and the other is to slander the bravery of the Union soldier. I have only one specific instance that involves what I believe to be a family member, but that is beside the point, you just ain't gonna convince me bravery only wore Gray. Another is they were only fighting to free the slaves. Gotta go getting stirred up.
