I'm sorry to hear about your computer crash. That is so annoying. I hope you can recover what you lost.

Is it awful for me to admit I can't watch Gone with the Wind? I don't know why. I cannnot sit through 5 minutes of that movie. I feel so silly, because I love Civil War fiction and nonfiction.

Wishing you the best on your tour.

Thanks, Tracey. I hope the college class gave an accurate representation of both sides. Sometimes they don't these days, unfortunately :)

When I was a kid (and before cable TV), Gone With The Wind was shown for 3 or 4 nights. Not a word was spoken among us until the commercials! LOL

Years later, I sat down and read it. It was wonderful.

As for the cause, I didn't fully understand it until I took a college class about it. That cause gave me an entire new outlook of the Civil War.

Thanks,

Although the "Cause" has been much maligned and misinterpreted in the interest of Political Correctness, our forefathers fought for a Cause and reasons they believed would affect them, their children, and their children's children. And sure enough it has......I honor my Confederate ancestors, and all those who chose either the route of Rhett Butler, Ashley Wilkes, Charles Hamilton, Melanie, Scarlett or the rest..... There were many paths to follow in fighting for one's Country, whether CSA or USA.

The Cavaliers & Cottonfield and Just a Dream Remembered quotes are among my favorites. We must not forgot those times, my four great grandfathers and several great uncle fought for the cause, and always remember, it is the cause, and not the outcome of the cause, that is glorious.
