[QUOTE="Zigarrote, post: 37908024, member: 199534"] Thanks, SOF. I agree. Unfortunately, though it took incredible nerve and there was some use of new and unconventional tactics like snipers etc., they were still locked into the mindset of two armies confronting each other face-to-face, inflicting and sustaining massive and horrific casualties. That's a whole book in itself, but as the South was a distinctly different people from the North, culturally speaking, I don't think you can discount the importance of self-determination. But, I guess that's really only something that people living halfway across the world should have. Particularly if their land just happens to be sitting on a lot of oil and Israel doesn't like them ;) In what sense? Spiritually, economically? Quite the opposite, I think. In fact, that's largely why they refused to let the South go. [/QUOTE]
