My last reply to you was over the top. I’m sorry about that. But I still stand by my belief that the average Southern soldier was fighting to defend his home and the average Union soldier was fighting for the Union. I grew up learning to respect them both and I still do. Discovering kin on both sides has helped me maintain this respect. I’m no Yankee-hater. I don’t get on these Civil War threads often because of the nasty passions ignited by the “antis” of either side. Have a good night.
There was nothing over the top about it. I took no offense. I have been using some pretty strong opinions in this thread and I am not trying to make this into more than it is. It is good to exchange ideas and have strong debate sometimes. I consider myself as someone with much still to learn in regards to history and ideology.
All the best to you. Enjoy you evening!
