I'd like to correct Ms. Nena Wright's reference to the "gang" of Union soldiers who were stationed at Clifton. They were a company or a regiment of Union soldiers who came to be identified as a "gang" by Southern sympathizers who demonized everyone who fought for the Union. Believe me, the families of those who fought for the Union were also plagued by "gangs" of Confederate soldiers and Confederate wannabes. I sure we all recognize the fact that who got labeled as evil or ganglike or whatever depended on the side in the war that one's own family served. Please, surely enough time has passed that surely we can avoid using demonizing terms to refer to historical characters.

If you ladies don't mind, some of these soldiers were brothers and happened to live in the North, and maybe rest of family lived in the south, can you imagine how their mother and families felt about that...........? There did not have to be a War..........wars are caused by politicians, I heard Ned Ray McWhorter say on Channel 5 one day that if old men had to go to war, there would be no wars. One of the best governers of the state of Tennessee, that is besides Lamar. Lets don't fight......lets love! Much more happiness that way. joyce hirley Hollis <drsahollis@hotmail.com> wrote: I'd like to correct Ms. Nena Wright's reference to the "gang" of Union soldiers who were stationed at Clifton.
