I'm pretty sure this photo of a Union POW who survived the Andersonville camp is easy to find at that National Cemetery. It may be difficult to behold, but it is not difficult to connect.

| #10 Compare wid FREEREPUBLIC > JERRY BROWN: CALIFORNIA, COUNTRY FACING "REGIME CRISIS" SIMILAR TO [prior, during] THE US CIVIL WAR. ARTIC = CA GOV. BROWN = a "Point of Discord" has been reached, Existential risk to California + USA cannot be minimized. |

| #8 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands. One nation, indivisible, under God, with liberty and justice for all. The Civil War is over, and as long as liberty and justice are assured, it can never happen again. |

| #7 Are you sure that dude survived? Looks to me like he had already given up the ghost when the photo was taken. |

| #4 FTA: Take a tour of a Civil War battlefield today, and it's difficult to connect the terrifying experience of an average Civil War soldier -- described above from various historical accounts -- with the tranquil historic sites where we now snap pictures today. It's only difficult if you (1) failed in reading comprehension in grade school (2) have a dead imagination and (3) lack empathy. |

| #3 Just remember this indisputable fact - Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. There's going to a lot of 'opinion' in the next few days upon the anniversary of the firing on Fort Sumter. |

| #2 He forgot Zinn. How many books did that commie bastard sell to the schools? According to Zinn and his sycophantic teacher fans, nothing the US did or does can ever be noble or right. Therefore, slavery/abolition cannot be allowed to have any influence on the Civil War or its aftermath. And many Iraqis welcomed some of my friends as liberators. That was before the insurgents started killing those who did. |
