Hey Q9!!! Calling Q9!.....

[redhen]

Did ya know its Civil War Week on the History Channel??

 

[Q9]

No, I didn't, but we don't get History Channel anyway.

Too bad - that, National Geographic, and Discovery are my favorite channels. We get none of them.

I'm guessing that it would have provided me quite a bit of material to blog about.

Thanks for alerting me to it, though.

Q9; fill me in. History buff in general or Civil War era specifically? I'm a big nut for Colonial Era stuff myself, but seldom see coverage on that era on TV, except for the Thanksgiving specials, which I hardly count.

Yes. That era specifically is what interests me the most, though the colonial era up to the War interests me. I consider it the single most important chapter of American history, as it re-shaped the very nature of our government.

Q9 what is your opinion on the Mexican-American War? Do you think Polk wanted to fight or he did it to protect the U.S.?

WW2 buff here... Cival war was interesting, but WWII had more technological advancements and interesting things happen IMO

I always heard it was the war of southern submission.

Reshaped the govt and a lot of peoples lives.

WWII was better documented it was the first real filmed war and visually informative as the next best thing would be the actual smell. I am also a WWII buff.It was fought as a war to win.
