Lack of industry and newer equipment hurt the southern forces as much as anything!<br /><br />I really do appreciate you coming over today!<br /><br /><br />Hey Jo...<br />Nothing like a small history class first thing in the morning! Glad you enjoyed it!<br /><br />Thanks for the visit today, sweetie!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-14624023116619289972012-12-12T09:33:29.549-06:002012-12-12T09:33:29.549-06:00Like Momlady said, it was really about state's...Like Momlady said, it was really about state's rights.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-59046387861976027672012-12-12T09:31:18.629-06:002012-12-12T09:31:18.629-06:00I'll correct myself.

He and Gen N B Forrest were both guerilla fighters that both rose from private to General. My family and gen Forrest both from same small town in Bedford county Tennessee.

( the union had henry repeating rifles near end of war and confederates still using muzzle loaders) the south still won most battles.Randallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-89004698428970083432012-12-12T06:05:45.078-06:002012-12-12T06:05:45.078-06:00Most people don't know the real main reason be...Most people don't know the real main reason behind the Civil War....and it wasn't slavery.Momladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511742074910407321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-47758801032589534142012-12-12T02:18:43.466-06:002012-12-12T02:18:43.466-06:00That war was a tragedy all around, with fault on b...That war was a tragedy all around, with fault on both sides.
