themselves?! I believe that they had more than a little help from the victors!
As for what ztawinthropgirl's remark, it's sooo true! I can remember a professor telling us about a 40th year reunion of the Gettysburg veterans. There were film crews, and both the Union veterans and the Confederate veterans were to get to the wall of the "high water mark" and shake hands. Instead, these old geezers started saying, "You're not going to win a second time, Yankee!" and "Dag nab it, you lost before and you'll lose again!"
It must have been a riot!!
