That's true--exactly 140 years ago. What a glorious day.

That's because the "better tree" just sits there with it's head up in the sky, but it was a wise move for the south to give up before they lost their NUTS[;)]

True, this was a sad day for the Confederacy. However......

"Verily I say unto you, as things which cannot be shaken shall stand, so shall things that are of the spirit - the soul of the Confederate soldier and the Rebel yell - fail to be captured or killed but shall live forever in the hearts of men and never die." ... from Rudolph Mellard's "Across the Crevasse"

Amen.
