Had you stopped at the first sentence I would have most humbly apologized for misinterpreting your remarks. However your second sentence proves that my reminder is much needed even today. You certainly have every right to stand by your CSA and be proud of it. I grew up in a home that sentimentalized the CSA as well so I am not foreign to your point of view, quite the contrary. However, just know who and what it is you stand by. All soldiers that serve on the front line deserve to be honored and recognized for their tremendous bravery. They are warriors giving their lives for their countries, but more importantly protecting their fellow comrades in arms. The Nazis and Emperor Hirohito's soldiers fought bravely for their father and motherlands, but that does not mean that we should look back lovingly at their respective military dictatorships. Bottom line, I honor our Confederate ancestors soldiers as well as all that give the ultimate sacrifice, but I am not down with the CSA.
BTW, I am really not trying to flame, please take it no more personal than I do not like the CSA. I have nothing against you personally and think you are a very nice person. I argued with my family over this subject many times over the dinner table and I love my family very much. Just not down with the CSA is all.{#Lol}

Yes, states rights to continue to use slave labor. I also know that the vast majority of the foot soldiers who suffered the most did not own slaves which makes the Rebel government even more culpable as the poor die and suffer to maintain the lifestyles of the plantation owners. No, I have no good feelings whatsoever about the greatest tragedy ever to befall our nation. We should remember our fallen from this horrible conflict with nothing but sadness, regret and hopes that we do not make this mistake again.{#Cry}

Funny you should post this, I was actually thinking the same thing as I was writing it. Yes, you are correct only this time virtually all Americans live the lifestyle of the plantation owners with the new slave being oil and our dependence on it.{#Yes}

Actually one was taken a block over from where my 1764 house was. This one

This is the other. Some of the buildings are still there.

The photos are not mine. I just stumbled upon them while looking for old pics of Petersburg.


This was the house built in 1764 I restored from a derelict ruin that hadn't been lived in for about 20 years. It still had visible damage from the Siege of Petersburg. It also survived Revolutionary War Battles.
