[quote:Anonymous Coward 73773464:MV8zNTI4ODMwXzYzMDQwMDI5X0NENzk1RTI2] A book that will really stir you is "Memoirs of Service Afloat" by Confederate Admiral Raphael Semmes of the CSS Alabama. The first quarter of the book is a very compelling case for the ECONOMIC STRANGLEHOLD theory of secession and the war, and the rest reads like a very compelling travel log-- interspersed with some fighting, ship seizures and torchings, etc., of course. Very well worth the read as well, from a gentleman/scholar officer/sailor. [/quote]
Original Message
I stumbled upon an interview of a Civil War (Confederate) soldier. I found it very fascinating and after listening to it I kind of wish the South would have won the war. It also paints a different picture from what we were taught in school.
