Rockrr is one of those people that live and breath "the Union was right, no matter what they did" types, and I think he's had enough exchanges with me that he doesn't want to really discuss it any further... with me anyways. :)
The usual slander of "you are only supporting the confederate side because you had family in the conflict" doesn't work on me because I had no family in the conflict. My family arrived in the US after 1900, and we did not settle in a Southern state.
I'm objective, and people don't like that when it goes against their position.
Boy, irony is sure lost on you. Say what kind of lamp are you using, a Coleman?
