I have been watching Ken Burns, "Civil War Series" again. I do not know why I keep watching and holding out hope that this time we might just win.

My sad announcement, is that we did not win, this time either.

Why did we loose, surely we had God on our side.

Why do the good guys continue to loose, Roy and Dale won, the Lone Ranger and Tonto won.

The Clinton's win, the Dash@@786450897, have and are winning still, and again.

I guess good guys finish last, maybe we should not be such good guys.

My coments, yours are appreciated. Tom

Why don't I get this thread rolling.......

surely we had God on our side

Now, just why would God be on the side of Slavery? Ever think that THAT might have been our downfall?

[Texaggie79]

And if you say that slavery had nothing to do with the war, I'm gonna hafta get my puke bucket out.

[Sir Gawain]

Why do you have a puke bucket?

[Texaggie79]

For threads such as these.

The south went down like an altar boy!

For those who forget, the reminder comes whenever The Yanks play The Braves in the World Series.

What happened to your hat?

[Texaggie79]

I gotta have something to #@$#$ in......

[Mr.Clark]

Now comeon, don't insult the South like that, it's offensive to compare the Confederacy to the Atlanta Braves.

[WOSG]

"The Yanks play The Braves in the World Series. "

Um, wouldnt that be a recreation of "little big horn" or custers last stand?

Now, if "braves" is too unPC, let's call 'em "The Rebels" ... who will complain - southern confederates??? :-)

[BnBlFlag]

I can't believe our beloved state of Texas and Texas A&M has produced sorry assed Scalawags such as yourself. Surely you were born of Yankeer transplants. You need a serious trip behind the barracks for a good 'ol country ass whuppin'.
Gig em Ags!

One can try to make the case, with some plausibilty, that slavery was not the "cause" of the war. But, slavery was most definitely the impetus for secession. That, IMHO, cannot be denied. The central issue was "property rights" in other human beings, and this "right" was expressly encapsulated in the Confederacy's constitution. As much as I love the South (and Texas), I'm glad the Confederacy lost.

Cute. But this kind of stuff gets old to some of us Catholics after a while.

Think up something new.

[tall_tex]

Looks like you got it rolling. Good work. I was about to go to sleep.

Judas on a cracker geez but you're ignorant.

[Larry Lucido]

I've caught a lot of this series. It seems pretty good. Simultaneously, I'm reading "The Battle Cry of Freedom," which begins by describing the roles many of the better-known Civil War generals played in the earlier war with Mexico.

Public school education I think!
