[QUOTE="Phillydog1958, post: 219044, member: 8704"] I've always found the Civil War to be the most intriguing of ALL wars. The American Revolution was also an interesting war, but I think that the significance of Civil War on modern times, supersedes it, just a bit. Maybe it's because we have so many characters who were bigger than life -- Lincoln (The Great Emancipator), Stonewall Jackson, Tecumseh Sherman and his infamous, "March to the Sea." Let's not forget the 2 opposing leaders --Generals Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, trying to outwit one another. Even a young George Custer made a name for himself, although he made a bigger name for himself and met his ugly fate when he foolishly attempted to beat the entire Sioux Nation at the Battle of Little Bighorn. What's funny is that there are still many people who chant, "Long live the South. Long live the Confederacy. " That tells me that the Civil War still has an influence on American society. [/QUOTE]
