GDG- Lost Cause and Inevitibility

[CWMHTours at aol.com]

Keith-
 
I am not uncomfortable at all with the idea of somebody  kissing somebody 
else with consent. 
 
But the idea of the "sloppy" thing makes me slightly  queasy.   I've always 
had a bad stomach.
 
Have you considered that a nice "tidy" kiss might be more  appropriate?

answer:  "There were major  agricultural areas, including the granary of 
the Midwest which was an  important factor in keeping the UK neutral since it 
needed the importation of  those foodstuffs as much if not more than it did 
cotton."
An example of the  answer to a question it never would have occurred to me 
to  ask.
(question: "What did the Union export that rivaled the  Confederacys cotton 
exports.")
you do this to me all the time Margaret.  
There's a big sloppy kiss coming your way at the  muster.

The North did  not have unlimited supplies. No one does. The degree of 
industrialization in  the free states is often exaggerated by Lost Causers. 
There were major  agricultural areas, including the granary of the Midwest which 
was an  important factor in keeping the UK neutral since it needed the 
importation of  those foodstuffs as much if not more than it did cotton. 


No one  forced the slave states to turn themselves into quasi-colonies, 
producing  staple crops in return for finished goods. It also chose not to 
emphasize  industrialization, although there were some important exceptions such 
as the  Tredegar Iron Works. 


Much of the difference between the loyal  states and the rebel was that the 
Union used its resources more efficiently  and effectively than the rebel 
states did.

Then Lee and Jeff Davis were guilty of criminal misconduct  for fighting a 
war they had no chance to win?

Al, 

If that is what you so choose to believe. I do not see  them anymore guilty 
than George Washington in the Revolutionary War. 
Plus  one never knows what will happen... 

Lincoln is hit at the 40 yard line  and spun around, ohh the ball is
loose..it's picked up by Lee and  Davis..There at the 30...the 20...the 
10... 
...TOUCHDOWN...The Rebels  win............. 


It is a FACT the North had UNLIMITED man power.  It is a FACT the North had 
UNLIMITED supplies. Unless of course you are of the  belief that McClellan 
and the South out-numbered the North..............
