The Confederate States of American government ended in 1865 but that sure doesn't mean that the War for Southern Independence ended that year. Don't be too sure, even at this late date, that the SOUTH won't RISE AGAIN! Seriously my father, whose father fought with the 44th Georgia Infantry in that war, still had bitterness about it. Of course I've gotten over it. Oh sure I have. Up the rebels! Gordon Hale Grand Prairie, Texas
