hilarious!

we would have kicked your hind end too except we ran out of people!

Hilarious and true. I love that Paul Harvey.

It is true and she wasn't paid. Grant was just as bad a general as the rest of them carpet baggers but he took over just before the maid started giving Lincoln strategic pointers.

First prize goes to Lobey...... Yes she was. The slavery deal didn't come about untill 1863. Lincoln used it to make points and to make the Europeans think is was all about slavery instead of the Confederacy trying to start their own country to protest their states rights. It worked because the Europeans dropped their support for the south. Politics is what has kept Americans thinking the Civil War was about slavery while all along Lincoln and other northern folk kept slaves and folks still believe that propaganda today. Tradgety, Yes. About slavery, No.

Both sides fought hard and died hard. My mom's from Tennessee and my dad's from Massachusetts, I grew up in Maryland. I've always been fascinated by the Civil War but I'll never understand it. Its true that the reason the North won is because they had more men and supplies.
