The Civil War

[HappyWarrior]

I think it was largly the fault of President Davis, whofar too often attempted to lead as essentally an armchair general.  This was especially prevalent on the Western Front where he directly contradicted General Johnston.

First of all it wasnt cemetery hill, it was culps hill that Ewell didnt take, it commanded the town, and Lee was the reason the south lasted so long. He was the greatest commander ever. Tactics today are based on him, speed and mobility. And slavery didnt become an issueuntill the emacipation proclamation, and it only applied to states still in rebellion and they were not gonna give them. Lol so in essence "the great emancipator" didnt free one slave the 13th amendement did.

What?  Are you kidding?

You know the civil war had nothing to do with slavery until politics was involved at the end. The Republicans at the time used it as a political tool to stay in power once the south was allowed to enter the country again.

Why do you think the south left the Union in the first place other than simply wanting to keep their slaves?
