Confederate General

I agree. Coach Bryant was much more than a Southern General. He was a great man North, South, East or West.

Growing up in South Ga, the war from my Great Grandfathers perspective had nothing to do with freeing the slaves until after the war. He claimed the carpet baggers from up north did that. I just know that it is not right.

Our world history of the past and present is full of countries conquering other countries and making slaves of the captured subjects. Many of the Southern land barrons left the south and moved to places like Bolivia and Argentina after the war. I guess they jumped from the firing pan into the fire.

Some of us are slaves to our Jobs, the Gov., Wives, Girl friends, etc. I am a slave to BAMA Football. RollllTide!
