[QUOTE="Dave, post: 920987, member: 498"] As in most wars, which side the guys packing the rifles and getting killed fight for depended on where you lived. The politians say that those guys are bad and we need to fight. The politians on the other side say those guys are bad and we need to fight. Of course you notice that the politians from either side aren't out in front carrying the flag or packing a rifle. Three out of four of my grand parents came to this country after 1910. One grand father had family here dating back into the 1700's or earlier. There was a great great uncle in that part of the family who died at Vicksberg. He was fighting for the Union but then the family was from a farm in Illinios so his side was picked for him. I agree with Hoss. About the feeling of a battle field being haunted. I have only been to that part of the world one time. I got a chance to go to Gettysburg all by myself. It was a hot July day. I walked out where Lee rode out to meet the men coming back from Pickett's charge. Looking across that open ground to the union line. It definately put chills up my spine. [/QUOTE]
