I don't think it was seen as an honorable thing to do
Well true but the thing was it didnt even have to do with the govt
yea I know
there were shitloads of Confederate deserters and soldiers in hospitals
who would gladly have did it
the entire region I grew up in would ahve done it
Booth in fact had direct access to the President for years before
the broke confederate POWs out of jail all the time
he knew Vice President Johnson personally
It was literally that easy
ferried them across the potomac
The Only thing I can arrive at is this
Benjamin who was I believe a traitor
WOuldntn give the order
for his own reasons
Jubal Earlys men almost were able to carry it out in 64 too
and couold have
Lincoln himself stood up on the fort and looked out on them
yet no one did it
That will always be the Paradox
Thats what always makes me mad about that whole business
Secession was a mistake, the Confederacy was a mistake. The Virginia milita could have captured Washington right after the Election
shot everyone and took over
Easy
kept ownership of the United States
and no one would have been able to stop them
The Confederacy was sadly the worst solution but it was the only one the Conservatives would approve
You ever been to Anteitem?
I been to Frederiskburg
was by Sharpsburg but we didnt go to the battlefield
When I was a kid, my boy scout troop would set up a plot of luminaries every year in the memorial thing they did at Anteitem
one lit bag for every soldier killed on a 10 foot square grid
rolling hills filled with lit candles
Do u understand what i mean
The KGC did at first approve the idea of a Coup
but it was voted down by the Conservatives
I do get you, and agree
It's starting in Australia now...
