I think it just shows that although we all have a common interest, we differ greatly in our opinions of who were the "good guys" and who were the "bad guys". It is interesting that a war fought over 140 years ago can bring about such emotion, especially when the topic of slavery is discussed. I myself have a very pro-southern way of looking at things, yet this list is no place to be sharing those views. I believe this list should be used as it was intended, which is to learn and share knowledge about troops/units/regiments/battles and our ancestors involvment in such, particularly in Missouri.
