This isn't f/b & my address is on my profile. The "South" is basically Scot-Irish & their attitude is about the same as in the "UK" ! Unbiased books have been weeded-out by the gov't. Over more than 150 yrs., the "cause" for the war has been solidly founded in freeing slaves by many writers & that has been instituted into the school history books. The idiom, "Winners of wars, write the history books" is very true when discussing the Amer. Thanks for your responds blunderbuss, it's all very interesting, I would like to read some books on the American Civil war, can you recommend any. As said, all wars show leaps in technology but the War of Northern Aggression had loads of new raw technology to be utilized & developed by both sides. Can you imagine the ironclads, Virginia & Monitor slugging it out with men on their decks handling sails? The only invention I can think of that didn't use really new technology was the Confederate submarine, Hunley. All wars bring out the inventors & they had all those new developments to play with & technology evolves in leaps & bounds as people try to find better ways to kill each other in "civilized" warfare. The timing was right with steam power, mass production, interchangeable parts, factory rifling, DC electricity etc. Thanks for posting this, it's always great to learn about history. My husband used to say that the American Civil War was the start of how modern warfare started, I would like to know if people on this forum think the same way as him. I love my history and your write up is very interesting, coming from the other side of the pond I have read very little on the American Civil War.
Hi AmericanSwords, I don't know anything about swords, but I can see this is quality. I will add some more swords from time to time.thank you! I hope that you will share more of your collection.
One of the nicest presentation swords for a company grade officer that I have seen- GO presentation swords are another level! Is there a reason we can't see the engraving on the blade? Possibly the finest presentation sword I've seen.
