Well, this should get out of hand quickly.

Masterful troll post. Masterful! Trump is a Floridian now so he's not a yankee any more, he saw the light and reformed himself. Heck, even I was born in Maryland but was able to fix myself. Being a yankee doesn't have to be a lifetime burden, it can be fixed. There is help.

Know the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee. Yankees come south to visit, Damn Yankees come south and stay. 
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

You need to read his book....the media and politics haven`t changed one iota. You also need to know most of the worthless Union Generals were political appointees. By both Repub and Dem. senators.
Speaking of making a deal, read The Civil War by Bruce Catton. That was darned near done..but a few Dems in the South rejected it, in part believing the North would not go to war. Much more going on that gets little noticed.
Abe had his hands full..is and should be one of our greatest Presidents.
Don`t get the History channel anymore. Got books.

If Grant had been the lead general at the first of the war with Jackson and Forest as seconds the war would have been over at Bull Run creek. Too bad he wasn't on our side.

I thought the one they did on George Washington a few months ago was excellent. I hope Grant is of the same ilk.
