Why would he ask that unless he believed the north started the war? Comprehension, indeed....you should try it sometime.

That isn't comprehension, that is guess. I read the words he types. You guess why he is typing them. I comprehend. You guess. Badly too... but I am very used to how you think now.

Asking why the North wanted to go to war over slavery is NOT saying he believed the North started the war. Just because you can't intellectually understand the question does not mean you are correct, it simply means that you should seek clarification, especially if it is point out, a few times now, that your guess was incorrect. As a teacher I see all sorts of levels of intelligence, we have to but it doesn't make having to explain simple directions over and over to some while others can figure it out on their own any more enjoyable.

You are shockingly wrong and your posts are a joke. I have never in the 20 years that I have spent on political forums, seen any posts as foolish as yours. I have never seen "grandpappy" posts - ever - and while your posts are quite foolish, their comedic value is off the charts.

We are not laughing with - *your posts* - we are laughing at - *your posts* . :D

Wrong. You posted what your grand father told you. You are posting facts of what he said, not facts that what he said is correct.

idolize....no...was he an effective commander? yes...his march to the sea broke the spirit of the south...it was at this point that confederate soldiers started to leave the army in droves...desertion if you will, to return home.....

Tried and hanged........... He was a "lone wolf" domestic terrorist.

Far cry different than a "Well Respected" General who burned half the south to the ground with approval from the sitting President of the U.S.

Burning half the South to the ground in war is no worse than any war. That's how stupid that logic is.

PS: That is not one, but two different people. Many more where that came from.

Then you need to learn some history of how racism was openly and viciously expressed in this county in the past. About the only thing that's changed is racists seldom use the old favorites anymore. "Thug" has replaced "n-gg-r" as one example. Reagan liked "welfare queens" in "gold cadillacs" as his favorite thinly veiled epithets (and, of course, his toadies all across the country repeated those slurs endlessly.

Thug has not replaced nigger for ****s sake! Thug is a term used to describe people that might be violent criminals and that look or act like it. That's it.

Except it wasn't a "hero" but I am sure karma caught up with it in the end.

Let's see if it did shall we?

Hmm... Sherman succeeded Grant as commanding general of the u.s army in 1869, served in that post until he stepped down in 1883, retired from the army in 1884, he wrote his memoirs in 1875, and died on February 14th, 1891, at the age of 71.


Where did karma hit general Sherman again?

No, I know his name, it is Russell R. Lenzini. For someone who has used his site as a reference multiple times, the lack of knowledge about the author, not even knowing WHO FRIGGING WROTE THE CRAP YOU POST, shows again how little you value references.

Wow....now that is irony.

Dude, most students do not do well with research, and therefore, references. Just saying.

treated fairly well? not sure i agree with that one....true on the second statement, i believe it was only 6% of southerners actually owned slaves.

I remember differently from school and looked this one up. Around 25% owned slaves.

You just explained why the Southern states left. The yanks knew had they allowed everyone to be counted down south the South would run the show, and the yanks couldn't handle that

Not even close... the South had 9 million people and 4 million slaves = population 13 million. The North had population 22 million people.

so far as having reps, if the slaves were counted as full citizens, i'm sure that would have gotten them a few more in the house.

we had an advantage that we had during the civil war..we were able to out manufacture the axis powers, the germans/axis powers were not able to bomb our cities/ factories into the ground, like we did the germans...the germans big mistake was engaging the russians....if hitler had left the russians alone, odds are europe would have been his .....britain would have fallen....hitler made the huge mistake of declaring war on the United States, after the United States declared war on japan....we were only going after japan in the beginning, did not have much interest in European affairs. hitler overextended Germany, that was their downfall. as for japan, that was fixin' to be a bitch of a fight until we finally got the bomb...if we didnt get a working atomic bomb when we did, we would have had to invade japan proper, and you would have seen death on a scale that would have dwarfed the civil war. thump you chest all you want, those were not 'whoopins', we ground them down.

While "whooping" is subjective I suggest you look at casualty lists and a few pictures of Hiroshima, Dresden, Berlin, etc. compared to Los Angeles, New York or Moscow after WWII.

And Stalin and Russia were preparing for eventual war. They would not just be "left alone". Much of what you say is good though.
