the Civil War?

"That's War Between the States."

I heard that expression one time before I was in my 30s. I was a freshman or sophomore in high school and I heard one of our teachers say that to someone who mentioned the civil war.

It made no impression on me at the time except for the novelty of the expression.

The 'civil war' was not a 'thing' that drew any discussion one way or another back in the late 50s. Even after the desegregation efforts, I do not recall any discussion about the war itself - it was all about the evils/necessity of segregation at the time.

talk of 'reparations' was totally absent. Never heard that word until well after the Great Society began to have its deleterious effects.

I'm pretty sure Union Troops killed lots of American Citizens during the War, correct?

Displaced Buckeyes supports modern-day traitors like Kasich, Biden and Romney, then pretends to be upset over folks who died in the 1800's......so sincere.....

You quoted an article written for the Confederate Heritage Fund, then went digging when I called you on it.

All you've been able to do since is throw your emotions around like a woman. Maybe you're a woman, I don't know, but you definitely act like a woman.
