It's safe to say that the civil war is over and done with. The south lost, get over it. You got your asses kicked by yankees.

P.S. The south will never "rise again" because it never rose to begin with.

What about all the round tables in the North or in the West? Do they want to relive the war(s) - I doubt it seriously. The majority of the round tables deal with preservation of History, and with that, History is neither kind nor neat, it is filled with hatred, evil, blood, sadness as well as good, happiness, and victory. History is life in the past, we can learn from it or not. And to automatically ASSUME gives poor representation of you and what you stand for. It is ok to jump in and attack just because the words "Civl War" is used and you live in the south? The attitude that anything dealing with the Civil War is automatically "the South will rise again" is a disservice to all, civilians and soldiers, who died during the war. Or did you think no one in the North died, killed, blown to bits with canister shots?

The Civil War Round Table of Cobb County is a group some 140 members with lineage from the "north" and the "south", who have a keen interest in the history of the Civil War. The mission of the Club is to present, preserve and promote. CWRTCC is closely associated with the Marietta Museum of History, Kennesaw Mountain National Park, Kennesaw Mountain Historical Association, Kennesaw State College, the Atlanta Civil War Round Table and many other organizations whose focus is on the Civil War. I would invite your attention to the CWRTCC web site www.cobbcwrt.org for details about the club.
