[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 921073, member: 694"] I got to talk with someone who lived in the period my great grandmother lived to be 104. Now I was little boy sitting on her porch and she still had my G Grandfathers uniform and sabre he was in the 7th Texas Calvary. Reconstuction was shameful I remember her telling me how they had to eat dog dumplings and other things to survive as the war had consumed everything. What the war didn't consume the North had destroyed everything from a Durham cow to a Shanghi rooster. To respond to CP post about it being about slavery it wasn't in view she presented. It was about the rights of the states to govern themselves. Many couldn't bring themselves to bear arms against there home state and as the politican's ceded the states from the Union, many East Texas boy's went back home to Alabama,Mississippi, Georgia etc to fight with thier people. If you need to do the math my G Grandma was born in 1855, grandmother in 1877 and mom in 1914. [/QUOTE]
