And the support for them by those who would be losing their slaves is virtually nil. That is the issue. Not even the border states were willing to accept compensated emanicipation in the historical past. It would take a dramatic change to even alter that.

I believe this question is better understood by folks who have lived here, in the South, among the descendants of both Owners and Slaves as well as those who were unfortunate enough to have been involved in the fighting. Much change has obviously occurred for the better since I've been around. I was born in 1947. There is still much conflict between races, depending on where you look and who you talk to. As I suspect is the case in much...

Dear NYTram01; It is impossible to fit four years of a Civil War into a DVD movie. Even the DVD Movie Gettysburg ; a three day battle was Swiss Cheesed; as there was so much that happened in those three days, with so many Corps, Divisions, Brigades, Regiments, Battalions, Companies, not to mention the supports by supply, ordnance, artillery, cavalry, staff officers, orderlies, surgeons, musicians that doubled as litter carriers. Same happened...

Quote: How many of those movements were in the slave south? I understand that there were more societies in the south than in the north, but that was when it was still safe to talk about it. The atmosphere changed considerably. Quote: I have seen no indication that the Brits were considering a boycott of southern cotton. Didn't, in fact, the Brits take all the southern cotton that could be ran through the blockade? Nor have I, but if...

Lincoln had no great confidence in the general goodness of mankind. Which is why the concept of the 'rule of law' was very important to him. Emancipation should be by the individual states, firmly embedded in their constitutions. The states (with Federal assistance) should institute programs to educate and train the freed slaves to assume the responsibilities of full citizenship of their states. As history has shown, this was...

A puzzling question
Published (2009-07-03 08:55:00)
How was artillery orgainzed under Grant? Is it possible he did not have a person in that position, and that only each brigade or division had its own artillery leader? In terms of his time in the East, would it have been Henry Hunt? I thought he was in charge of artillery of the AoP but I'm not surey what his title was.

I don't know that I necessarily agreed with secession, but I do think that State's Rights was a valid issue then and still is today. In recent years, many states (and not just Southern ones) have had state's rights issues, as well as Sovreignty Declarations. I think Oklahoma just did one recently. The unfunded Federal mandates issue is another example of state's rights coming back to the ...

I've started a blog where one of my goals is to figure out what exactly makes me like the Civil War so much. I'm hoping that putting various thoughts into writing will help me see what fascinates me so or, perhaps, to find new avenues to explore. For the entry I just wrote, I thought it might make a good question to ask here, with so many passionate and extremely knowledgeable folks here. ...

With the exception of the question mark, I've borrowed that title from a PBS American Experience show. I haven't seen it, but I stumbled onto the website for it, and considering Reconstruction is one area where I am woefully lacking knowledge, I was looking around a bit. A couple "myths" mentioned there stood out for me, and I'd be interested in your reactions/opinions. Myth one: The North...

I'm watching a documentory on the American Civil War in on a UK channel called "Discovery Knowledge" and we're into 1864. We've had about 20 minutes of the hour thus far on Grant and Lee and the East and the death of Stuart, Early's invasion of the North and the seige of Petersburg. Then it mentioned the Atlanta Campaign. Specifically it said something along these lines: McCellan seemed ...

There is a date that has gone unrecognized by historians which is surprising. Historians love to say "on this date something began or something ended" and this date gets no love. THE DATE IS: JULY 4, 1863 On this date two great events came to a climax which brought the rebirth of our nation. Vicksburg surrender to Gen. U.S. Grant an effectively cut the confederacy in half ...

Posted here as Grant served in both theaters. What men served as Grant's chief of artillery during the Civil War? A ( Lieutenant) Colonel William L. Duff is referenced as such at least at one point - but I am unable to find anything indicating him serving Grant in that capacity. Perhaps I should look under a different form of the name, or perhaps its false. I'm sure there are ...

What are some of your favorite, or some of the most interesting, unique or descriptive nicknames of generals, North or South, from the Civil War? A couple of my favorites: "Grumble" Jones, "Fighting" Joe Hooker, and of course "Baldy Dick" Ewell. . . I also like the stories and/or descriptions behind these nicknames. Pam

To All, I got this idea from the 'War of Northern Aggression' thread as Vareb and Elennsar were discussing the first acts of war that took place. I did this list once when I was debating another former member of this forum and thought I would repost it here. December 20, 1860. South Carolina secedes from the Union. On that same day William T. Sherman says to his friends in the ...

I have recently been led to believe that the 1st Minnesota (of Gettysburg immortality) or some portion of it was issued Sharps rifles. Anyone at there have the when, where and how many regarding this? __________________ History at its best is a tool from which we can discover truths, at its worst a weapon used to manipulate opinion.
