Good Evening Fellow Civil War Buffs, I hope you will excuse me for breaking my own rule about posting something that is not related to the Civil War in the...
Hello all. I have recently completed a scholarship essay about how Jackson could have changed the course of the war if he had lived. It has almost nothing to...
To all, I've been reading a lot about the what ifs concerning General Lee. What if he had gone west? What if he had faced Grant sooner with Sherman, Thomas,...

Lee's generalship it appears to me was the only reason that the South survived long enough militarily to enough question his actions in 63. Was Gettysburg...
In my opinion, Lee was a brilliant general who knew what he was doing. At Gettysburg I feel that he had a sense of "this is the final battle, no matter what."...
