On the other side of the memo is Lincoln's statement that the CSA General is demoralized by the reaction of northerners to the Confederate Army. He had been told by Vice President Stephens that the would be "greeted as liberators."

It read:

"But I don't want to go to the theater tonight Mary. Can't we wait until it comes out on video?"

Ok, whose next?

Where's Chair when you need him?

Lee was a great general . The South should have won the war , we would'nt be in this quagmire that we have today .

No kidding RightNut.

We could be sitting here having black people type this shit out for us and fetching us lunch.

Fucking elite Northeners.......

Actually, it was a memo written TO Lincoln.

It read:

"DUCK!"

Plante's find reinforces "Lincoln's desperation to turn Gettysburg not just into victory, but decisive victory that stops the bloodshed," said historian Allen Guelzo, director of Civil War era studies at Gettysburg College.

"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan..."
--From the March 4, 1865 Inaugural Address

Wait wait wait, what kind of typewriter was it written on?

The war of Northern agression.

The note was a comparison of which young guys legs were best shaped.

The South started the war by firing on and invading Union territoty---Ft Sumter.

If the war had ended in 1863, another one would have started in 1864.

There was no way the US would have let the CSA have one square foot of the West - where the South never really fared well at all militarily.

The Fugitive Slave Act would have been negated, so every slave in the South would be trying to escape North or West.

The South's dependence on Cotton as it's ONLY export would have made it a slave to Northern and European mills - especially with Egyptian cotton plantations now in competition.

Planters were sucking up to the British aristocracy at exactly the point that the power was shifting to the middle class capitalists - who had a lot more in common with Northern capitalists. European workers sympathised with the abolitionists.

The weak Confederate structure of the government would have promoted a "divide and conquer" economic strategy, and the US and the UK would have eaten their lunch, one by one.

The US was only going to get stronger from that point, and the CSA had nothing more to offer. And they would have made an enemy of the US - and you all know how we can hold a grudge.

Losing was the best thing that ever happened to the South. Not to mention it lets them whine about Northern agression for the rest of their lives.

I freed the who?

,i>But my all-time favorite rebel was J.E.B. Stuart.

But he screwed the pooch---not in the way Vermin and some others might screw the pooch, though---at Gettysburg. Marse Robert was not a happy camper.

Lincoln. Loser. Like Edwards, but dead. Or Hillary, but with bigger tits and a smaller ass.

And no Mooselims or cow worshipers. The only injuns would be the ones we already put on the reservations. No one walking around the stores in pajamas with white powder on their ear lobes. Don't these people know how to wash the mildew from their ears?
