The North originally won the battle........
The South ultimately won the WAR!!!:jestera:

Now, now, boys...

Here's a few interesting facts, probably you've heard them already:

* More soldiers died of disease and infection than in battle.
* The casualities of all our country's wars combined do not equal the men lost in the Civil War.
* More Vietnam veterans came home and committed suicide than the number we lost in battle. (oops, wrong war...but still a pretty strong statistic)

Good book: The March by E.L. Doctorow, detailing Sherman's march thru Georgia and the Carolinas. At one time his army numbered 60,000 men, while 25,000 freed slaves trailed behind them. That's a helluva lot of people!

[Formula Jr]

I'm one of the few Yankees that drinks sweet tea and loves it. If you don't know what sweet tea is, drive another 500 miles south and order it.
