I think you’ve hit upon the ending to all of this that I most fervently desire.

Hmmmm… So you’re saying I shouldn’t personally boycott the July 4th stuff in D.C.
Was thinking I would do my part to deny him a crowd (would find it hilarious if he got about as good a showing as the nazis did), but if that is going to be the outcome, I’d bring my good camera.

Alternative scenario, these Neo-Confederate Morons do realize it. And that is the problem, the Union was saved.
They would have prefered a different timeline:
In Hodge’s timeline, Haggerwells’ men held the hill so that the Confederates won the Battle of Gettysburg, paving the way for their victory over the Union in Philadelphia a year later; in the resultant timeline (our own), Union Colonel Strong Vincent’s 83rd Pennsylvania Infantry and Colonel Joshua Chamberlain’s 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment occupy the hill early on and successfully repel Confederate advances.

O/T but I am loving this Hopefully Dump is next
LEWISBURG, W.Va. — A financial services company coming after Gov. Jim Justice personally for $2.79 million is asking the Greenbrier County sheriff to seize personal property and for Justice assets in a dozen banks to be checked.
Meanwhile, a legal ad says the sheriff of Logan County has been authorized to sell shares of two Justice-owned companies to settle yet another debt in the court system.
This has been quite a week for Governor Justice and his family’s vast holdings.

Fighting for what you believe in is bad if what you believe in is wrong. Moreover, the whole States Rights argument is a fraud, which this lover of fake history would know if he studied REAL American history and learned that the Slave States wanted slavery federalized and were upset they couldn’t retrieve escaped slaves from the Free States.
And finally, most of the Traitors who fought in the Civil War were poor people competing against slave labor, not slave owners fighting for their rights. They were just tricked by rich Southerners to support a system that helped keep them poor. Some things never change.

You never know. Perhaps history can repeat itself for the guy who has “a great brain” and who’s “like, really smart.” BTW He also employs “all the best people.” Did you know Sean Hannity is his go-to Presidential Historian?

WE, the Union, were the victors. ALL wars are fought by men that believe in their ‘side’.

So he read about it and still failed to see. That’s the type of willful ignorance known as human evil.

“I am a lover of history and especially a lover of the civil war period and regardless of what side people fought on, they were fighting for something they truly believed in,” Reed said, according to the Beacon. “Many of them were great Christian men on both sides. They fought hard and they were fighting for states’ rights as they saw them.”

The 20th Maine’s struggle at Little Round Top was the centerpiece of the film Gettysburg, with Jeff Daniels as Col. Joshua Chamberlain, who later became president of Bowdoin and governor of the state.

Next they will want to remove any negative lyrics about the KKK and Nazis.
Amazing how the R party has become the residence of every bad idea and every bad dead-enders group. Now that we have them all scraped together into one holding pen we should be advertising them as the party of secession, party of Nazis, party of The Klan. Every American should be shocked these groups/ideas have found new life.

Never heard this one, thanks for sharing.
Aside from (inadvertently) taking a run at a forum member, what else do you know about the Civil War?

Sherman should have gone about his business for several years. Refuse their surrender and have at it until 1870 or so.

I have visions of a giant Christ the redeemer sized statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman placed on the top of Stone Mountain. You know, just as a reminder.
