  4.  @brandonmc01  The Confederacy was not a sovereign nation, Mexico is. Do you mean to say Confederate and Union laws did not and do not apply to Native American Tribes since they have declared themselves sovereign nations?

  5. Idk. How would Grant have handled it? How would have Meade handled it? How would Rosecrans have handled it? How would Joseph E. Johnson have handled it? How would George Washington have handled it? How would Napoleon have handled it? How would the Queen of England handled it?

  7. Black soldiers were usually regulated to guard railroads and supply depots. There were black soldiers at the Battle of the Crater, but Meade and Grant worried about how sending black soldiers in first would make it appear that they're being used for cannon fodder. So they had the remaining white regiments draw straws. The regiment who drew the shortest straw was incompetent and marched right into the giant crater. They blocked the way for every unit behind them, including the black regiment. The Confederates won the battle. And in typical fashion, they killed every wounded black soldier. They paraded the captured ones through town as slaves.

  9. But it's historically accurate. Our ancestors were ignorant. And future generations of our children will see us as nauseatingly ignorant as well.

  10. It's hard to say. It's not like he had one unique tactic, but I don't believe his attacks would've been so disjointed as McClellan's. Sumner's Corp was half the size of Lee's Army, yet only one division attacked. I have a difficult time believing Grant would leave nearly an entire corps out battle. He would commit every unit to battle or maneuver, not just standing around in a cornfield. McClellan's plan to attack Lee's left, right and center, gives Lee time to reinforce his lines and then make an orderly retreat. The plan off attack should try to divide his army or pull it apart. Idk what Grant's plan of attack would be, but I think attacking Lee's center while pinning down his flanks would be the best way to divide and destroy his army.

  11. The Fort's names are being considered to be changed, but the logic after the war put forth by Lincoln was reconciliation and healing. He didn't want it to be all just be hangings of traitors. He was hoping that the Confederates would come back and could be considered Americans. There were also some influential Confederate sympathizers and organizations that pushed to name things after Confederate generals and change the narrative of the war
