Guys it seems to me that if you want to discuss things like the Civil War or whatever you want to call it from a historical perspective then that should be OK under General Discussion. You might even find the thread might last a long time if one tries not to relate to modern day US Government constitutional interpretations or why you own 15 Rush Limbaugh teeshirts and a couple wall posters in your bedroom. If you stick to the historical stuff and avoid anything contentious like a quick plug for 'The Southern Independence Party' or what you would do with all your less than white neighbors in the newly reformed CSA then it would make for a very interesting and civilized discourse which I am sure the 'Mods' would roll on happily with until you all got bored or worked out the South lost. As an after thought I wonder if Jeff Davis smoked Condor?
