its hard for me to watch civil war stuff, i would have fought on the union side but because i am from the south i find myself rooting for the confederates. wouldn't be such a guilty thing if jefferson davis would have listened to the advisers he had telling him to free the slaves as soon as the war had started to deny the union the ability to make it a moral war. i also hate the way docs on this war paint the union as saints when they were just as bad and cared nothing for black people's plight

Civil war is one of the worst war that exist and it has always been a bloody mess. Civil wars in the 21th century will always be a even more bloody mess.

@Cruor34 yeah, the problem with that was they were only trying to excel in one skill in their weaponry. Like Patton who preferred having the sherman with speed and the ability to flank rather than giving it a fighting chance and putting more armor and a bigger gun on it.

awesome

I always find this stuff mind boggling. Reluctant to use repeating rifles/revolvers over single shot? ARE YOU INSANE!? An 8 year old girl can tell you the better choice... The amazing thing is people who were this retarded kept getting the job: see fitting the Sherman with a low velocity 75mm or deciding to put no guns on an F4 Phantom that had 11% chance to hit with missiles.

@owls4life611 "During the civil war era, Lincoln suspended the writ of hapeas corpus in order to arrest maryland officials so they wouldn't join the confederacy, if so the south proboly would of won because Washington d.c. Would of Benny surrounded by confederate states."

There would have been a dual government in Maryland, like in Kentucky and Missouri, or they would have just moved the capital. Most of the Marylanders who fought in the war did so for the Union anyway.

@aliensexgangchildren "wouldn't be such a guilty thing if jefferson davis would have listened to the advisers he had telling him to free the slaves as soon as the war had started to deny the union the ability to make it a moral war"

Davis couldn't have freed the slaves even if he wanted to. The Confederate central government had little power and that's how the southern states wanted it. But it wasn't a moral war anyway. Like you said, union soldiers didn't care about the plight of black people.

@LongknifeTrooper Glad they lost the Battle of Little Bighorn! Custer deserved to die.

The Army made them use an inferior weapon, the Springfield Trapdoor.
