this is wrong

the north were the traitors to the republic. the civil war was about upholding the republic which meant preserving state's rights. the south had a right to war since the federal government sought to take away their rights to govern themselves. the north winning eventually led to the massive federal government and bureaucratic nightmare we have today. the north winning meant the republic was destroyed

Sherman only had one impressive campaign - Atlanta. And that was only because he had a 2.5:1 advantage in numbers and had three armies under his command to the Confederate's one.

Sherman fucked up hardcore at Vicksburg, got raped at Chickasaw Bayou, and fucked up at Chattanooga. He was terrible early in the war and had a mental breakdown and was basically a psycho.

His march to the sea? He let Hood's army go for Thomas to deal with and marched unopposed - big fucking deal. Anyone could have done that.

Sherman is immensely overrated as a general.

Before you go accusing me of a southerner, I'm not, but I'm really tired of the aspie styled prejudice of northerners about the war.

Northerners really are brainwashed about the war and still reflect the brutal ignorant hatred and disregard of southerners that was partially the motivation of southerners to rebel to begin with.

>le they enslaved niggers how horrible
>ignores the race riots all over the north as slaves began to migrate north

The whole war was pretty grey and anyone scholar of the war finds it hard to see any real good or bad guy. Both were guilty of very negative actions. I just wish we could have one discussion about the war where people aren't screaming for the heads of people and just see it for what it was.

Do you think if Davis had kept Johnson as commander in the West the war could've turned in the South's favour? I mean. Lincoln was reelected essentially because of Sherman's march to the sea.

Johnson was a very capable commander, but simply should not have given up Atlanta that easily when the 1864 election was on the line.

Hood had the right idea with his counterattacks but wasn't skilled enough to pull them off. Really they needed Lee out there, but he was busy in Virginia defending the capital obviously.

If Jackson was still alive, Jackson could have been sent west to take command sort of like how Longstreet was sent west to help in 1863 (which produced the Chickamauga victory).

They didn't have the necessary manpower, money, or industry to properly outfit their armies. I mean, they barely had time to get set up as a country. The main thing was dye, which was really expensive - so they worse grey, undyed uniforms. Many also wore butternut colors.

In the beginning of the war many were dressed in blue too, which led to lots of friendly fire incidents and such. At First Manassas, one Union regiment got fucked up because they held their fire seeing blue in front of them and then got raped at close range.

Not really. They had no competent generals until Sherman and Grant came along right as the confederacy was knocking on Washingtons door.

They also had similar issues with getting weapons and equipment.

Useless platitudes. Once again you fail to see the difference between your example and the Civil War. The US did not consider Japan to be its brothers. The US did, ostensibly, consider the South to be its brothers. You wouldn't nuke your so-called brother.

I think so, basically Stonewall survives his amputation, but due to taking so long to recover he couldn't help out at Gettysburg so the South is still in a bad state. Bragg resigns and Davis has to decide who takes over, not really happy with Beauregard or Johnson being his only options. Benjamin convinces him to pick Stonewall and he agrees. Jackson is sent West and finds the army to be in a shitty state with Cleburne and Forrest being the only generals to show promise. There's also a story within a story about two brothers but it doesn't take much away from the main story. Honestly give it a look, the characters are very interesting.

But it's apparently not "obvious".

There are ACTUAL people, both ITT and in real-life, that honestly believe the Civil War was fought exclusively over Slavery, the North was a progressive utopia of racial harmony and that Southerners literally boarded boats to Africa, caught niggers with nets and then shipped them to America for rape and forced-labor.

From what I remember from my American History class, emancipation was definitely set up as a winning the public ploy.

>Southerners literally boarded boats to Africa

it wasn't Northerners either. Africans were enslaved by their own people, sometimes rival tribes, sometimes their own, and sold by tribal chieftains who sold them to Jewish merchant ship owners who brought them over to markets all up and down the East coast for sale to plantation owners.

I think the important fact to remember about Sherman is that he improved, unlike many other Generals. No, he wasn't brilliant at the beginning, but he learned from his mistakes. He was a better strategist then anything else, and other commanders under him were better fighting or logistically inclined generals. For example Thomas, one of the least remembered yet excellent Generals of the war.

True. But Sherman also "improved" as the South's fighting power declined.

You are right about Thomas though. Severely underrated and always in the shadow because Lincoln and the Grant/Sherman buttbuddy political group didn't like him. He got the McClellan treatment and was actually about to be relieved of his command at Nashville before his crushing victory.

The Thomas/McClellan parallels are very interesting. inb4

Sometimes at night I lie awake. Just can't sleep. I'm thinking of our 2nd War of Independence and I just can't cope with the fact that we lost.

Makes me think about that tv show "Man in High Castle" who depicts a world where the wrong side won WW2. Let me tell you I feel the same about our world. That's right. The one we live in. It's not right that the Confederacy surrendered. We were so close to DC, we had the better generals (hell, the north hardly had any "generals" at all!) and the legal right to secede from the Union. Our world is false and not as it should be.

Just because the Irish are now "white", doesn't mean there wasn't a time when an irishman couldn't get a fuckin' job.

There were irrational lynchings, all sorts of fear mongering that lead to senseless deaths of innocent men.

The whole Occupy Wall Street and the lingo it generated reeks of Marxism. My parents grew up in Eastern Europe under communism and they were constantly bombarded by "talks" [more like monologues] of issues such as protecting the "least developed countries". Ironically for a movement that wanted to do away with material possessions, communism really liked to talk about how poverty is the worst thing that can happen to a man.

Nowadays it's the oppression based on race, which is way more damaging to the collective conscience. While economic strife could be beaten, race is something you can't get rid of. So labeling racial issues as the biggest threat to humanity you immediately antagonize different groups of people for the rest of their existence. If I go now in USA I will have leftist idiots shouting at me about my "white privilege" despite the fact that I'd be broke [fucking hell plane tickets can be expensive!] and I'd have no connection to the history of the country [so no plantation owner as a sugar daddy].

Hell, just look at this year's Oscars and how people harp about "racism" as the reason some movies/actors were snubbed. They simply ignore the fact that the Oscars are a joke and that they snubbed so many worthy candidates for god knows what reason, but the moment a black actor isn't nominated it's clearly RACISM.

It's impossibly to give everyone as much stuff as the rest of society. The whole point of "being rich" is that you have more than other people, from this you draw the main advantage of being rich. The moment you put everyone at the same level is the moment where you make everybody as poor.

Even worse is the fact that you basically ignore any basic concept of individuality. People like to own nice things, but each person wants something different and in different quantity. And by making so that the state is the provider and not each person's individual skill you make so everyone becomes dependent on the state.

Right now I live in Geneva, and my God there are so many communist sympathizers it boggles the mind.
