@onhwy61, "that is because "History" is written by the winners." (as jmcgrogan2 correctly noted).

Everyone remembers the 2 most important battles of the Revolutionary War: Yorktown and Saratoga....which is fine except there were actually 4:

Yorktown
Saratoga in the North
and Cowpens
and Kings Mountain in the South.

So why, when asked, does no one remember the last 2??
Because the North won the Civil War and they wrote all the history books.

Correct me if I'm wrong but many important history books on the Civil War were actually written by Southerners, you know, like Shelby Foote.

Geoff, you are by no means wrong on that, sir.

I was not trying to re-fight the Civil War so much as point out the bias that can be found among the victors...whatever the war.

If you want to talk about history go to a history forum.
