You tell Em! Florida Rocks! We were the Beef supply to the Southern Armies. Our Capitol did not fall. Our Northern POW"s were sent to all the POW camps and had a better chance of survival than any Southern soldier in a camp up North. I would rather have been in andersonville than elmyry or the chicogo Stock Yards, Those guys were bastar.... Look at the statistics. No Southern Commandant had funds left over!!! While his charges were dieing of starvation!!!
I will admit that as the North was going to win the savvy man sold his beef to Cuba. He still sent large amounts to support his army. Virginia and Florida were the most rebelious states and lost the most young men to battle. Other states were more boisterous but VA and FL gave thier all.
MY rant being over. I humbly ask you to research Civil War POW stats so our kid don't believe TV and stuff.
