Campaigning With Grant, Horace Porter. He ended the chapter "Grant Saluted by the Enemy" with the dry remark that "all parties knew we were engaged in a civil war, but this attention to the niceties [Grant returned the Confederate pickets' salute] rather exceeded expectations."

So he acknowledged a salute. That means we should fight one of four civil wars? Have you been drinking the Hydroxychloroquine again?

Reading comprehension, not astigmatic filter, please: "...we were engaged in a great civil war..."

I am both pleased and displeased that you continue in your hobby of rolling in your own shit, and being stupid, stupefied, and antihistorical whenever you think it will be convenient -- hence dishonest.
