It is a very good conversation but isn't this thread about States Rights making a come back? For example in South Carolina today not 150 years ago, Obama wanted to bailout states. There is specific mandates in the money clause that if you take the money you must abide by a mandate to change states l...

This is exactly what kind of things occered prior to the civil war. At what point does a state lose itself to the federal state? I wonder how the military will fall into this? Will it abide by a government deemed tyrannical or will it side with their own people? Who represents the people in this age...

For truly a feel for the old girl, you need to read the original confederate veteren magazine. These are a great source of a southern view point. From life in prison to the swamps of carolina. first hand accounts byt the people who actually was there. Here in the US you can read the material in the ...

Ahhhh California is a country within a country...It has already been taken...now they are issuing IOU's to people getting state income tax returns...

This is a great topic and great answers...thanks for all your input

Barker

Wow, some really incredible answers! The main interest for me being an American is that it personally effected our family, our land, our own morality. This was a fight of subjective opinion on both sides. I heard an interesting radio program the other day on Lincoln. He was basically a bigot reforme...

It is the right nay the obligation of every citizen to stand up to a government and say enough your done. It is our duty as Americans to rise and remove a government that is tyrannical in nature as well as in fact. I am a firm believer in states rights without the Feds intervening. Who knows their o...

America was far from perfect then as is farther from perfect today. Life then was simpler but harder day to day. Life today is harder and day to day is more difficult because of beauracracy. Does that make sense?

Barker

I have always been curious as to the steadfast interest of Europeans in the Great American Tragedy? I really have never posed this type of question but I am curious none the less. Besides the Military Historical context why?

Thanks for any answers, as I have a curious mind

no insult intended. I was just stating my opinion on a relavent issue. The game by far is a great game. From a historical aspect a cut above everyone else. I have never complained about anything. I just approached the Issue of Mussell and you stating it was a distortion of Indian. I took obection to...

Were they comments from people in the area or were they comments from peopl 2000 mile away and never have been there?

Barker

The point I was getting at is this....don't change something for the sake of a wiki comment...I would suggest email the area concerned like the Sons of Confederate Veterens in that area. They would have extremely grand knowledge of the goings on during that period. From units to area history. If you...

Gray have you ever travelled in the south to see these places?

Barker

you have freezing rivers so why not high water for river traffic...it is fact, since alot is based on textual basis

The first steamboat to pass over the Muscle Shoals and reach Knoxville was the Atlas in 1828. By 1835 steamboats traveled regularly from Knoxville, Tennessee to Decatur, Alabama when water was high. In 1836 a canal was built around the Muscle Shoals by the State of Alabama with Federal aid. The cana...

Since the incorporation of Muscle Shoals in 1923, this city has become known as the fastest growing city in northwest Alabama with a population of over 11,924. Located in the eastern portion of Colbert County, Muscle Shoals is also known as “The Shoals,” along with the cities of Sheffield, Tuscumbia...

Tuscumbia - Helen Keller, ever hear od her? Sheffield - Weigh Station Moulton - Running Battle for Hogs Mountain Russellville - On going skirmishes and minor battles That area is deep with ACW History, I know for a fact about the battles in that area. The 4th Alabama Cavalry is from there and they w...

You could say the same about Streights raid through Alabama with Forrest on his heels. Streight had more men better equipment but Forrest won tactically but Streight won by getting to Rome the surrendering....so who is the better General...or was it better troops? Some of the advantages of good gene...

Barker

Why not have the correct name Muscle Shoals....better yet Florence, Sheffeild...it is called the Tri Cities....then there is Moulton to the South east and Russellville to the South...

Barker

uscle Shoals in the river is very low and rocky....small flatbottom boats could travers but not the big ones....that is why they built wheeler dam...bring the water level up and power the electric TVA. That is by the way where all my family is from.

not a problem.....

Barker

well this is true..the CSA has won many a battle that would have been lost through normal attrition and rule variables....as in war the only variable that counts for anything is winning

Barker

Besides did you look at the stats on the victory page...I had fewer troops, guns horses...I caused tremendous casualties while receiving light ones....By everything that is right I was out gunned, out supplied and had fewer officers....I should have lost...this tells me that something is quarky in d...

isn't a game about personal fun? I own tons of ACW games from board to PC...highly detailed and historically accurate to whimsical fun.....Robert E Lee generals is one...but anyhow sometimes it is just plain fun to see about what if's...doesn't hurt anyone and makes it more enjoyable for me anyways....

Barker

It is very col what you can do with these files...you can really mold a what if game...ie I did one with forrest, Morgan, Wheeler , Quantrel, Vam Dorn came out early....boosted Forrest, Bushwackers, and Morgans Raiders to a high strength Cav ... Gave a few cities more militia...Decreased in others a...
