No Wreath This Year?

Confederate Monument In Arlington National Cemetery

Apparently two guys (whose names I have forgotten) wrote a letter to the current U.S. President Barack Obama wanting him to NOT send a wreath to the Confederate monument at Arlington.It has been done every year since Woodrow Wilson was president. I would like to say that as president he should honor all soldiers from all wars that have died fighting on U.S. Soil. I would Like to say that if the U.S. doesn't want to honor the Confederate soldiers, then the U.S. Government needs to give all of the land C.S. soldiers are buried on back to the former Confederacy.In my mind Not sending a wreath would be Discrimination and Discrimination should NEVER be tolerated. Sending a Wreath Will help the nation and in NO way can it hurt....if you agree with that or not feel free to speak your mind because I won't delete your comment unless it is extremely inappropriate.

...Hard Crackers come again no more...

A common enemy of the Southern Soldier(other than Federals)was hunger.Meager rations and a poor diet led to malnourishment in many of the boys in gray.Did this affect the Confederacy's ability to wage war and to recruit volunteers,if so give an example.

Where's Steuart?

Without it's zealous Cav. commander J.E.B. Steuart the A.N.V. was blind in the days leading up to the Famous battle of Gettysburg.How did this effect the Confederates Strategy on the First two days of battle?

Artillery

Union artillery superiority was often times matched by excellent positions held by Confederate gunners.Had the union artillerists held beter or equal positions would Confederate artillery have been decimated or could they have held their ground,also did the types of projectiles and their use apply to their successes or downfalls?

Secesh Camels?

Ol' Douglas,mascot of the 43rd Miss. inf.,followed his regiment through many battles in the western theatre until he was killed at the siege of Vicksburg.Did I mention that Ol' Douglas was a Camel? pictured-Ol' Douglas Monument in Vicksburg.
