@Cionaodh57 i understand what your saying, but "Stonewall" Jackson wasnt a defensive guru....he was more offensive, and to see him put up such great defenses at fredericksburg is truly impressive, it even impressed Longstreet who WAS a defensive guru

@alectendreme The thing is, with our education system in the shape it is, about 60% of Americans have never heard of any general from the Civil War, let alone the Civil War itself.

@Imachowderhead Very cool! I'm still working on it!

[Imachowderhead]

@Cionaodh57 Ive read it

[Cionaodh57]

@Imachowderhead I think you'll see that General T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson did understand it, and he devised tactics to compensate for both the minié ball and the superior numbers of Union forces: induce the enemy (e.g., Fremont, et al) to attack him in a strong defensive position, then attack the enemy's flank after he becomes demoralized. See Alexander, Bevin, _How The South Could Have Won the Civil War_, NY: Crown Publishers, 2007.

@Cionaodh57 None of them did

[Cionaodh57]

@Imachowderhead When I was in the Army I was taught to **lowwwww crawwwwl** and at light speed if necessary and under machine gun fire. There's no way I would march up to a defensive position like that. General Lee did not appreciate the accuracy, range, and effectiveness of rifled muskets firing the minié ball.

@sesrunner08 Jesus? You mean Jesus of Nazareth? Or that dude that went to Chicago? Jesus of Nazareth said nothing about slaves, but one of his principle apostles stated that a slave owner should treat his slaves with respect, and that Christian slaves should likewise show respect for their masters. That said, African slaves were stolen from their homeland, so buying and owning them was wrong. But most southerners did not own slaves, so were not fighting to retain ownership but to keep Yanks out.
