Description

This group is devoted to the discussion of Civil War topics from battles to personalities to re-enacting. Ask questions or just share. Tell us about your ancestors or anything else related to that period of history. We encourage members to be active and the only "dumb question" is the one not asked. I must admit that I am a dyed-in-the-wool Confederate, but most Yankees are welcome too.
