War Between The States

150 years ago today, Southern Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumpter, ingnitin' a five year shitstorm.

There was a lot of ugly about it. Truth be told, were I there in those days, I haven't to foggiest idea who I'd take up arms for. A lot of good and bad on both sides, and a very unclear picture of what was bein' fought over.

But it's no use startin' a big debate. None of us were around for it, so it's kinda a moot point.

Instead, I wanted to share this excellent link from J-Ro concerning what the Great War has left our current society with. Take a good look at the pictures, and take a few minutes and watch the video. Very introspective.
