A pal sent this in, from Georgia;
"I don't want to forget, we made a good fight for our rights, and I'm glad and proud to have been in it. But as for bearing any malice against the men who whipped us, not I. The war ended. I would just as soon have shaken hands with General Sherman (I wouldn't) as with Joe Johnston."
"Or with Grant as with Robert E. Lee ?"
"No, for I would have knelt to Lee."

There was still honor among men back then.
I wonder how it will go after the next Civil War.
I'm not sure I would stop shooting after the cease fire.
Ed, let's pray that doesn't happen. If it does? Zero sum, imo.
Good call, NFO!
Wow, RHT, that's quite a video and I hadn't seen it.
