You probably don't know that Maryland also was suppose to succeed from the union and Abe had troops lock down the Maryland legislature so they could not vote. How Honest is that. I am a reenactor and do Union and Confederate because like many i have family on Both sides so keep up the bouts then go back a read you history mate.
the victor always writes the history so what ever you believe. never seen a fort resupplied with 75000 troops though. That is what old Honest Abe (yeah right) sent to make Carolina rejoin the union.
yeah ok bud, think what you want like the other idiots on here. All carolina did was suceed from the union not a shot was fired in 1860, it was not until Lincoln sent troops that South Carolina started to fire back.Read your history before you open thy mouth.
K jimmy when did the state congress vote to succeed? Lincoln sent troops into SC Before the shots were fired on Fort Sumter Why would they fire on a fort if the state had not succeed. On December 20, 1860, South Carolina became the first state to declare its secession from the United States, In April 1861 Confederates bombarded Fort Sumter. No one was killed in the bombardment
Dearest Lambchop again you are mislead, The south did not start the war. Carolina succeeded long before the shots were fire on to the northern invaders. Sorry old chap we can go on forever. the south had every right to succeed as does any state to this day. that is what makes us better than the rest of the world.
The Government is not adhering to the Constitution now, Some states are wanting to succeed as i type this because of states rights. The Government is not suppose to rule the people the People are suppose to run the Government. Remember Of the People, By the People For the People. Read the constitution some time.
As for Tratiors the south did not start the war. Lincoln sending troops into South I am a Civil War reenactor, Confederate with the 8th Florida, Co. C Representing my Heritage on my Mothers Side. I have documented family that served in the revolutionary War, War of 1812, 2nd Seminole war, Span-am War, WW1&2, I was 17 years US Navy. Grenada, Desert Storm, Somalia. So i have been around. I am a Republican because the Democrats have screwed my navy many times.
As for Tratiors the south did not start the war. Lincoln sending troops into South Carolina started the war by invading a State of the United States. The Constitution gives the States the right to leave the union if they are not represented and the Union is not adhering to the Constitution. The south never planned to go to war the Militias were doing the same as in 1774. so if the south is traitors then you sir are also a traitor.
@jdell151 The Constitution does not give the right to fire upon US soldiers on federal property as the South did, this is an act of war in any regard and makes them traitors. It defeats the purpose of a republic if the losing side leaves the country. You are supposed to suck it up and deal with it until the next election, not be sore losers and leave. They were traitors in those two ways. I have never wanted to secede from my country, or make war upon it, therefore i am not a traitor
Do you even know why South Carolina the first State to leave the union did so. Ever hear of the nullification act of 1838? Did you know that the emancipation Proclamation act was not even brought into the picture until 1863 4 years after the SC accord to succeed. the town in Vermont St. Albans, Vermont..
hey lambchop guess you dont know squat. Lee was so bad how come his tactics are still taught in the Washington war college and west point? Isn't Gettysburg in Pennsylvania? Way north of Washington. Humm, Confederates also captured a town in Vermont in the new England states. Guess Lincoln had to free the blacks just to win the war huh .
@jdell151 I'm not fan of traitors, but I admit Lee was a military genius despite his huge tactical blunder at Gettysburg. You can point out Gettysburg is in Pennsylvania, but I have never ever heard of this Vermont town so please let me know where I can read on that because I would love to learn of it. Either way if you want to point to two examples of Southerners invading the North, then i'll gladly point out all of the major Southern cities that fell to the Union, and how Atlanta was torched
@jdell151 Yeah, you're right, growing up in Georgia and reading about it since I was 3, and having it be my favorite historical event with military history being my favorite subject and being a history major I know nothing about the Civil War, says who i presume to be a white southern lost causer
I love the United States Of America. To that end I shall use my voice to legally fight for freedom and what is right. Just as these men fought with gun & sword I fight with, pen, keyboard, paper also with voice and shall forever point out the wrongs of this nation while also point out what is right and just.
we are Stringing to the pole of our brothers died before. Shouting in the battle cry of freedom! We'll fill the stream and ranks with a million streams of more, shouting the battle cry of freedom! Young and Forever! Hurrah Boys Hurrah! Down with the traitors! up with the flag! Oh, we'll rally round the flag yes we'll rally once again! shouting the battle cry of FREEDOM!!! We are Marching through the fields we are going to the fight! shouting the Battle Cry Of FREEDOM!!!!
my great-grandfather fought for the union and the right, denied 3 times for military service due to hapatitis, he enlisted a fourth time and fought a foruth time to the end. thats how determine he was for the union.
@TheBoberton how many times did they almost take washington lets see gettysburg is way north of washington and the north made it how far south? By wartime percentages by body count the north got their asses kicked that why linclon had to bring the blacks into fight cause northern white boys cant fight their way out of a wet paper bag.
@jdell151 The South never "almost took Washington", they tried once and got repulsed, 30% of fighting age Southern Men died as opposed to 10% of Northern men, and its even funnier that you mention they brought in the blacks, because nothing makes me happier than the idea of the Southern traitors getting whooped in battle by their own slaves. The fact is that with Civil War tactics its far easier to defend than attack, and the Union was almost always on the attack, and when they weren't they won
@EpicTrollBeastMan Oh you are refering to the Battle of the Crater when Southern savages murdered black Union prisoners in a war crime that should have resulted in a massacre of rebel prisoners immediately in retaliation? Well its too bad that Robert E. Lee didn't share your opinion and thought black troops fought very well, so well that near the end of the war he requested that the Southern Congress allow black troops to be raised to fight for the South in exchange for their freedom.
@Lambchop08 Lee also though it was a good idea to attack Cemetery Ridge on July 3rd, 1863, so I'm pretty sure he wasn't always one to make sound decisions. Sounds to me that you're either a darkie or a darkie lover, stop trying to make blacks a bigger part of the war than they really were. This was a white mans war fought for whites and mostly by whites. The Abolitionists were a small sect of Northerners that only got their way because Dishonest Abe needed support wherever he could get it.
@EpicTrollBeastMan Southern racists are funny in a sad sort of way, I am not black, I am one of the whitest people I know, but I actually realize that being a certain ethnicity doesn't make you better than any other because we all are just people, there are good black and white people, just as there are bad ones, as you make clear. Yes most of the people who fought in the war were white, but a greater proportion of blacks fought and died for the Union than whites, they deserve some credit
I've been in a few events where we have used mortars. Usually there is nothing in the mortars, but some reenactors use small rubber balls that have long hang times. Basically wherever the ball comes down people know to take a hit.
Yes..the current crop of democrats are certainly big government commies, but so are the Republicrats now. I just can no longer support a party which nominated two Bush, a McCain coupled with a Palin.
Why let the scum win? And screw that damnable song. Look where the industralist system got us? Filthy T.V. and entertainment, debt, fat guts, unhealthy food, air and water.
