On my Dad's side, my GG grandfather died due to wounds from Chickamauga and is probably buried, but not listed, in the mass grave in the historic graveyard in Atlanta. I'm going to visit it this summer. On my Mom's side, my GG grandfather signed on after listening to Lincoln speak from the back of a train. Someone in the family still has his belt buckle or gun or something. Very cool.<br /><br />I took the kids to Cyclorama when we were in Atlanta last. Very very interesting. T asked me what side I would have sided with as I tried to explain all the intricacies of the war. I told him it's hard to condemn family and I wasn't there, so I don't know, but I do know it ended as it should have and it was all a crying shame.Bouhttp://boudicca.mu.nunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890416885446831282.post-24062839120092861952011-04-14T12:48:03.564-04:002011-04-14T12:48:03.564-04:00When I used to work tech support, I got a fair amo...When I used to work tech support, I got a fair amount of calls from the southern states. One of the things I noticed was that they tended to be more polite than most of the callers from the Left Coast or some of the northeastern states.BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405172215849046373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890416885446831282.post-27274739301964665802011-04-13T23:13:09.747-04:002011-04-13T23:13:09.747-04:00@Eric - I suppose that would be a Foote Note?@Eric - I suppose that would be a Foote Note?Elissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299361897381169534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890416885446831282.post-69433247458268810402011-04-13T21:07:21.743-04:002011-04-13T21:07:21.743-04:00.....I heard Shelby Foote one say that before the ........I heard Shelby Foote one say that before the Civil War, it was grammatically correct to say, "the United States ARE"...... and afterwards, it was correct to say "The United States IS"..... <br /><br />EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890416885446831282.post-41972569099345993662011-04-13T14:24:36.192-04:002011-04-13T14:24:36.192-04:00...And proud of it, Dax!...And proud of it, Dax!Elissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299361897381169534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890416885446831282.post-25701996278610688802011-04-13T10:31:10.643-04:002011-04-13T10:31:10.643-04:00"Though I was born and raised in the North, I..."Though I was born and raised in the North, I have no intention of ever going back there to live: today I call the South my home."<br /><br />...That makes you a Damned Yankee!<br /><br />Just Damn!Dax Montanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247279473495053476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890416885446831282.post-20156533706709459142011-04-12T23:25:41.212-04:002011-04-12T23:25:41.212-04:00Well said.Well said.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.com
