  • Thanks for clearing that up RCS. Appreciate the info.

  • @chiefymike

    The last veteran died in 1956, the one who died in '59 was never enlisted.

  • @salakast Technically yes but we should remember that with a foreign hostile force making themselves at home in the Southern harbor of Charleston all the pleases in Dixie couldn't send that threat back home. If Al Quidea held Staten Island would it matter if we fired the "first shot" to send them on their way? Funny thing is there are just 2 wars that critics bitch about who made the first shot. The krouts in WWII and the Confederates in 1861. lol

  • @rebelcry99 the south attacked first, but i guess youre right

  • @salakast When Lincolns invade the South or Hitlers invade the Poles I reckon your right my friend.

  • My father grew up in the 1940 during WW II in Tennessee. He told me he remembers a couple of Civil War vets who were still living. I looked it up. The last Civil War vet died in 1959.

  • Probably a few of those men died there then too.

  • @TThorne931 If the Confederacy was evil so was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence and George Washington who lead the fight. They fought for the same ideals.

    The South paid 80% of the taxes and consisted of 30% of the US population. Lincoln instituted the Morrill tariff which increased taxes (the South controlled all but three major US ports) from 20% to 47%. It would've killed the South, they had no choice but to secede and Lincoln murdered them for it.

  • just imagine, a year later, WWII would begin. dont we ever learn from our mistakes?

  • Who is the one at 1:18?
