    Gettysburg

    Nah - it was your point to use those terms. I only referred to those who took up arms against their nation and many against their own sworn oaths. I never used the labels - just pointed to individuals and their actions. North and South are merely points on a compass. The CSA is a long since...

    Simply wrong that General Lee violated his oath to, "bear true allegiant to the United States of America"? Please do educate this apparently clueless Norwegian immigrant.

    Nope - just rejecting the unnecessary layer of varnish.

    Gettysburg

    Then why the need for Tennessean President Johnson to pardon them in 1868 -- from the pardon -- "a full pardon and amnesty for the offense of treason against the United States". Why? Because while there was much treasonous behavior, we couldn't imprison tens of thousands of men on the heels of...

    Gettysburg

    I have no interest in the concept of inherited culpability. Whatever my great great grandfather did or did not do in Norway has nothing to do with me, that's all on him. But in turn, those alive today are responsible for their own educated understanding of history. No need to pretend about...

    Gettysburg

    Simply embarrassing that the ridiculous narrative spun by the "Lost Cause" folks still holds in the minds of some Americans. A few excerpts from the Confederate states ordinances/articles of succession may serve as a good reminder from their own mouths: Mississippi Ordinance of Secession...

    Gettysburg

    Let us not generalize about entire generations. Only a small percentage of Americans have ever actually placed their lives on the line for this country. And that special group spans the centuries. Only a small percent fought with George Washington (and many favored a British victory), a small...

    I will honor the scope of this thread (civil war) and not give specifics rebuttals that could derail - but lots of not so great in that generation too. As @BrentD suggested, labels like this are more about how the pronouncer feels about themselves in so anointing than about how the labeled...

    Better tactics - marching shoulder to shoulder across a field is rarely a go to tactic these days.

    I assume you would agree this would only be a relevant argument for the Union soldiers . . . Or better yet, let’s not spin this thread into real politik 2024.

    A trust allows “members/beneficiaries” of the trust to possess and use the items in the trust and provide a probate and NFA/FFL free-way to allow the items in the trust to pass to the other “members/beneficiaries” when you die. For example, I have a trust that names myself, my son-in-law and...
