I never owned a slave, yes I’m sure there were lots of people who wanted to secede over slavery. Yes northern states had slaves also. Yes most people fighting did not own slaves. I do believe that legally the south had the right to,secede. I also believe the North had the right to try to stop them. That war is over. There was fault on both sides. I’m from MS and served in the US Army. We are the United States today.

I like all guns..mostly. I really need to work on my collection. You have inspired me.

News flash...the war between the states ended nearly 160 years ago. Why are we even discussing it?
From one Captain to another. I think we are discussing for multiple reasons.
It was the most tumultuous time in our country history.
More boys, yes boys were killed in it than all our other wars combined.
Those who forget history are bound to repeat it < i cant claim that line.
This whole website focuses on that time period. Guns, lifestyle, reenactment, when men were men and women weren’t allowed in bars (now that was the good times).
What else we got to discuss? Trump/Biden? Thats a useless argument.
 
What? Women weren't allowed in bars.

The major issue with with the topic is it always seems to end up in a barroom brawl that gets many a good thread shut down, and many a good member given the old heave-ho. Just sayin'.

Hey, I get your point. Hopefully, we can talk history not politics. 2 different things.
 
It was also the first flag of the confederate state Louisiana
The Bonnie Blue flag was a "Lone Star" flag. The single star stood for independence. It probably wasn't this exact flag but Texas had their version when we won our Independence from Mexico. Texas developed their own "Lone Star" later.
 
I only have one Rebel revolver, a Griswold and Gunnison made by High Standard . One GG grandfather's family didn't own slaves because of religious reasons, so I guess he enlisted just because he didn't like Yankees :thumb:
I have a High Standard Schneider and Glassick. I was curious if yours is marked Griswold and Gunnison on the barrel. I have been looking for one for a while.
 
Correct. It is the most recognizable of all variations, having blue bars against a red field…

IMO, the Trans-Mississippi flag (Gen. Taylor’s flag) is the most beautiful variant having a reversed color, red bars against a blue field.
That is the 1 flown at our place. Lisa’s GG Grandfather was 4th TN Infantry, CSA. Unit built Island 10, Forts Wright, Randolph and Pillow. Shiloh veteran, Davis’ personal military courier, wounded in action, captured/exchanged. Surrendered under Taylor’s command. A bunch of his possessions are at the county museum, which was built on his property.

Oh my. To have discussion of what happened back then without injecting present day politics?
