Re: Question about Stances and Strategy

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Can someone explain how stances work? Do they work this way - if I'm a brigade commander and my objective point (doesn't matter what it is, could be an objective marker, location, etc) is let's say 1000 yards away.

Re: Cushing Brothers Podcast on The History Network

Thanks for sharing this. I can't get enough of podcasts from this era. I feel like I've watched every ACW lecture on youtube.

Re: I'll Take my Stand- Causes of Southern Secession

I will agree that we disagree. I meant no disrepect. That's what I love about the ACW, it means something different to everybody. I can not sit here and say that my opinion is better than yours. I can see you spend a lot of time researching your opinion and that should be commended.

Re: I'll Take my Stand- Causes of Southern Secession

<t>Straight from the horses mouth............<br/> <br/> South Carolina's secessionist declaration enacted upon the election of Abraham Lincoln. Adopted on Christmas Eve 1860, it in pretty blunt terms demands secession on the grounds of slavery:<br/> <br/> "We affirm that these ends for which this G...
