Somewhere I read Ike's glowing appraisal of Lee as being the greatest American general.<br /><br />LordChamp, there is no better place to ramble than Free North Carolina.

Love the site and all the info there.<br /><br />It's amazing the things I have learned just today that I thought I already knew.<br /><br />It also breaks my heart to know that I AM knowledgeable and didn't know, then to think of the young ones that don't know AT ALL because they have never been even basically taught.<br /><br />I have a dream of working to fix that, I just haven't figured out how yet but I'm working on it.

Of course, as an adult, the reasons behind it and supporting information and history has become more important.<br /><br />In all my reading and research I had never heard of the Corwin Amendment and the history surrounding it. That adds so much to the support of the war not being about slavery but in reality about States and individual rights and purely economic reasons with slavery being merely a small minor issue to most in power.<br /><br />Thank you again.LordChamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666617513908734386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-44056807609328579272013-01-19T14:52:06.096-05:002013-01-19T14:52:06.096-05:00something so many have no idea what that means any...something so many have no idea what that means any more.<br /><br />Hard to believe that we have fallen so.

Something so many have no idea what that means any more.<br /><br />Might I ask for the references you used?<br /><br />I've preached for years that slavery was a very minor issue causing the start of the War. <br /><br />There are so many similarities between then and now that knowing what information comes from and being able to reference facts when presenting arguments is paramount to us correcting all the lies and misinformation out there about our Country.LordChamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666617513908734386noreply@blogger.com
