I was looking at what the dead smelled like and noticed that not too many of them were young hungry children.
Did you pick up on that?
Never mind.
A more important question came to mind with the understanding of the difficulty an intelligently educated man like Robert Lee faced with the need for organization n the training and supplies necessary to lead the average uneducated man who would be soldier into a war which he was, not only ill-equipped to fight, but lacking in understanding of why the Fort was fired upon, and seemed to be driven, in no small way, by their fear and hatred: Fear of the non-white Negro, because deep in their Christian hearts, they knew that their attitude was wrong, but it was the attitude of their culture, you know, and everybody was doing it…
My question is this: understanding that the average Union soldier was fighting and dying to preserve the United States of then, what do you think it was the average confederate soldier thought he was fighting and dying for?
I mean, there was a lot of fighting n dying n fear n hatred going down during all those years before it became about slavery -
