Yep.

I grew up in a state that was yet 30 years from statehood when the cannon first sounded. And I am no historian or buff but of course see bravery, heroism and bitter tragedy on both sides.

I was really just making a joke, which probably wasn’t necessary.

I would tell you that I usually read the long Civil War (War of Northern Aggression to you) threads because they are often informative and always passionate.

We are all Freepers which means we are all conservatives. So much of what we say in these threads is all in good fun.:).

I am pretty old, (but not real old), so I am old enough to remember that my grandparents generation was very distrusting of carpet bagging northerners. The CW was the one most traumatic event in our nations history, and it may take another 150 years to truly quell the feelings.
