The Lincoln quote is thought to be apocryphal. But the idea is accurate no matter what. That said, do NOT underestimate the likes of Sherman and Sheridan in winning the war.

@charlesmeaux3954 John Lewis didn't invent the phrase "form a more perfect union". I hope you know where he got it from.

Someone tell that to Donald Trump.

@swirvinbirds1971 Gutzon Borglum, the same guy who did Mount Rushmore and the famed statue of Union General Philip Sheridan in Chicago, also was responsible for some of the monuments in the South to the Confederate generals. Both sides hired him. It was many years after the war, you know. Not too many statues went up on either side in the first few decades after the war ended. The first one was pbly in the 1890s.

I was waiting for Philip Sheridan's name to come up; took until halfway through the video. It was Sheridan in his porkpie hat who harassed Lee's Army of Northern Virginia in the weeks leading up to the surrender at Appomattox. Underrated general.

There was never a movie called "Rambo I". Just saying.

@FlyingTigersKMT Bad assumption on your part. I'm a lifelong conservative Republican.

@FlyingTigersKMT Jeez, dude, what's the matter with you? I upvoted your OP, one of the 21 there now, but it also reminded me of Trump's egregious comment "I like the ones who weren't captured". Are you a member of Cult 45, wherein the man is infallable?

I suspect that much of the popularity of the picture had to do with the fact that his 15 year old daughter at the center of it was a major babe.

@jouhanneus Sherman or Sheridan? It was Sheridan who chased Lee all over Virginia in the weeks leading up to Appomattox.

@jouhanneus No. Your response where you mentioned Sherman.
