Bluehawk,
Well written...well said !

I'm in Indiana, but one of my ancestors is buried under the bank in Salem (Dent County) ...when the town decided to move the little graveyard(graves) from what had become downtown... They moved the headstones....ha ha ha and not the bodies!
...so now there is a bank there.... on my Confederate ancestor
.....sad thing is that after the little battle...his farm was raided, and from that his young wife died, and a newborn baby(girl)
....only thier 3 year old son Douglas survived.
....Not just because f or this but for the general reasoning,
and way they conducted the war...The Yankees have NOTHING to brag on. ....and Todays government ...has a lot to hide...
....excuses...excuses... there is nothing to chang the fact that
the Southrens had every legal right to leave the union ...and the US Government no legal grounds to wage the war that they did.
Fact-is-fact ...and that is that the North commited a major crime that resulted in hundreds of thousands of death... Not just in and at the time of the socaller Civil War ...but thru many of the following years... , Well beyond the official "RECONSTRUCTION" years but ..but most pronounced in such as Pellagra rampant in the Southern States during the depression years. (just one small example of how the illegal
war and poverty that the North brought upon the South ...kept right on killing! ....Freed some ...and disposed of democracy and freedom ...giving in its place...Federalisim and an ilusion of some freedom.
I'm not much of a writter ...but I dammed sure read ...and its all in the records ....Not Southern records ...But records written by the Yankee government's own officials.

legal and moral right to leave the Union in peace ...when thier own waged a hidious, illegal war ..that was all of that ...and Illegal. ....Lets talk about Lincoln...?????
