In the last thread, I see the phrase "This remote theater of the Civil War." May I comment?

Remote? Remote?!? Where are you from, New York City??? This is the Trans-Mississippi we're talking about. This is where the Civil War was fought. Sure, there may have been some disagreements over in Virginia or Georgia, but were they really relevant?

Please excuse my sarcasm, but down here in the Red River Valley is not remote.
