SO THEY JUST HAD TO ONCE MORE ENACT IN PLAY THE HORRIFIC GETTYSBURG CIVIL WAR BATTLE.
LISTENING TO THE CBC NEWS ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE SUMMER HORSE CAMP. I DID NOT KNOW THAT 40,000 CANADIANS FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR.....MOST FOR THE NORTH! MANY OF THEM WERE KILLED.
I WONDER IF THOSE PARTAKING IN THIS GETTYSBURG MOCK BATTLE, HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE "GETTYSBURG" I RECENTLY TOLD YOU THAT I BOUGHT AND WATCHED.
THEY SAY, WELL SOME DO, IT WAS A DEFINING MOMENT IN USA HISTORY. I HAVE TO QUESTION WHAT THEY MEAN BY "DEFINING."
THERE WERE 53,000 CASUALTIES, THE MOST EVER FOR A 3 DAY BATTLE ON USA SOIL.
IT WAS THE LEADER OF THE SOUTH ARMY THAT THOUGHT THEY WERE INVINCIBLE. HE WOULD NOT LISTEN TO HIS SECOND IN COMMAND THAT IT WAS BASICALLY A SUICIDE MARCH TOWARDS THE TROOPS OF THE NORTH UNION.
HERE WERE YOUNG MEN, HUSBANDS WITH A WIFE AND CHILDREN AT HOME.
THE WHOLE BATTLE WAS CRAZY, INSANE, MAD, DERANGED, DAFT, NUTS, WEIRD, SILLY, ABSURD, FOOLISH, UNWISE, STUPID, RIDICULOUS, IDIOTIC, MAD, FANATICAL, HYSTERICAL [WORDS FROM "READER'S DIGEST WORD FINDER" UNDER 'CRAZY']
IT DEFINED THE USA OKAY.....DEFINED THEM AS DEMONIC INFLUENCED.
THE WHOLE STUFF ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR AND THE SUBJECT OF SLAVERY IS A SHAMEFUL PART OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER ON WHAT LED UP TO THE CIVIL WAR, AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN; YOU NEED THE DVD LECTURES BY PROFESSOR ALLEN C. GUELZO; FROM WWW.THEGREATCOURSES.COM
IT IS "THE TEACHING COMPANY" WHO PUTS OUT ALL KINDS OF CD, DVD, COURSE LECTURES BY EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELD OF STUDY.
THE PROFESSOR GUELZO IS FANTASTIC ON THE "LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN" -- HE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY WITH THE FACTS OF LINCOLN AND SLAVERY, LEADING UP TO THE CIVIL WAR. FACTS MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT, THAT PUTS "THE REST OF THE STORY" [AS THE LATE PAUL HARVEY WOULD SAY ON HIS FAMOUS RADIO PROGRAM] IN YOUR SIGHT.
AND THE MOVIE CALLED SIMPLY "GETTYSBURG" WILL SHOW YOU THE MADNESS OF THAT BATTLE, THAT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED WITH SHAME AND NOT GLORIFIED IN ANY WAY.
