You might not want to give people any ideas...

Just call them "estates" or something that makes Facebook moms and the class of people who run internet blogs feel better about themselves. They will never bring it up again.

sherman took care of that, didn't effect Louisiana since you guys surrendered so quickly...gotta love the french!

Out of all the things to unpack in your troll attempt, the weird internet phenomenon of portraying the French as historically weak from a military perspective is the most lazy of your hooks.

What? New Orleans fell easily because the defensive plan was 200 years past its efficacy, failed miserably and therefore the city was surrendered rather than be reduced to rubble. No argument there, although Louisiana as a state did not surrender at that time. (not that it matters)


My point was that your comparison to the French was idiotic. Not because New Orleans didn't fold quickly, but because the "hurr durr French surrender monkey" line is ignorant and idiotic.

Walley, you must be a troll. You can not be that stupid. The Confederate Army of the TransMississipi defeated the Union Army in the Red River Campaign, sending them in retreat east of the Mississipi never to cross over again. Texas, La. west of the river, and most of Arkansas remained in Confederate hands for almost a month after Gen Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia. Gen Kirby Smith(commander of TM Army) was one of the last Confederate Generals to surrender. I guess shite posting and not history is your specialty.
