Civil War my Butt.... It was the War of Northern Agression.
My ancestors were from Kentucky and Maryland so I hear ya' but since Jay is a yankee I was typing so's he could understand ;-) To a northerner, the Civil War is ancient history, in the same category as Troy and the Roman Empire. It just has no relevancy to us. In Vicksburg and Biloxi (our destination on that trip, some 20 years ago), it was like the war had just ended a couple of years ago. That was a very strange thing for Mary and me. But did you make it to the Casinos? Vicksburg was starkly impoverished looking when we visited in the 1980s. It's sad to think that they've been forced down the "Road of Economic Desperation" that seems to inevitably lead to casinos nowadays. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
