| Gen. Weir: they may be marching but those garments double for parade ground dress and pajamas I'm betting. And yes we picked on the girley-men of North Virginia just to see what they are made of. Hopefully you can muster 23 combatants to make it a meaningful effort. |

| It goes against the grain to say this - sorry team, but the biggest misconception is that the South could have won the war - maybe a fine aspiration for some, but industrial might and man power win modern wars, and the ACW was a modern war - same as WW2. Good military leadership, tactics and a grea... |

| 1. The North could not have lost the war. This is a misconception because if Lincoln had lost the election of 1864 there was a strong movement to make peace with the South, thus allowing a separate Confederate nation. Also, if Lee had won Gettysburg it was possible that France might have sided with ... |

They are the binder that holds this club together. I wish someone would wri... |
