Re: Civil War - fact or fiction



I thought the original post *was* fairly funny, but what what I thought most
interesting about it is that it demonstrates pretty clearly the kind of
traps that the internet lays for the unwary researcher.

I assume that none of those things in the original post were true. (Except
for watching the Ken Burns special on the History Channel my knowledge of
the US Civil War is pretty limited. Benedict Arnold riding up San Juan Hill
or something, right?) But lots of them sounded like they could have been
true and if I was a high school person using the Net to write an essay and
came across a site with this stuff I would probably take it as gospel.

just my .02
