I like re-enactments - another method of preserving our history.

Southern Heritage Bump!

[JSMosby]

Thanks stainless banner for a great post. My wife and I wanted to be there so much but had to go to a friends wedding. I never fail to mark the dates and times of events, like the Hornet's Nest. Family was with Cheatham at Shiloh. Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Who exactly were the traitors? Those who were excercising their rights to remove from the loose association of states that was the government? We could do with a little more of this anti-Federalism today. The South was right, and slavery would have disappeared anyway with the coming industrial revolution making us all slaves to the machine.

Whaddya mean? Shiloh was a confederat defeat by every measure one wants to apply to it. You lost Albert Sydney Johnston, you lost Corinth, you lost western Tennessee and any chance you ever had of taking Kentucky, and you lost a good part of your army to boot.

I like this one - thanks for sharing:

Shiloh was a reb defeat. You should do a little research.

[BluH2o]

You're right it was a Rebel defeat, although they did have some success in the early part of the battle. A large detachment of Union reserves arrived and turned the tide of battle in their favor. The Rebs finally pulled up stakes and retreated towards Corinth, MS about 20 miles away.

"flesh monger driven cretins" ?? That's original. Mind if I use that flame sometime? I'm not sure when or against whom, but a flame that virolent has to come in handy sometimes.

[Non-Sequitur]

The ignorant and illiterate flesh monger driven cretins who took up arms against their own union.

Did you get bitten by a southerner when you were a child or something?

Welcome to Free Republic. I can see you're going to fit in nicely here. By the way, I was at the 125th re-enactment. First Illinois, Chicago Light Artillery.

This new guy frequently drops his old screenname - either because he destroys his own credibility or he gets banned for misbehavior - and creates a new one to repeat the pattern. He's not swift enough to create several today so he'll have them ready for use in a couple of months.

A couple of his previous ones are 'The Cruiser' and 'Who is George Salt.' You can tell by his inability to correctly apply 'it's' and 'its.' That and his irrelevant rants. Just ignore him.
