Date: September 10th, 2026 6:15 PM Author: Arousing hominid home Lee received formal notice of his appointment to command of all the armies on February 6, midway through a heavy three-day attack on his right flank at Hatcher’s Run, word of which had reached him the day before, a Sunday, while he was at church in Petersburg. Contrary to his usual custom, though he waited out the service, he went with the first group to the chancel for Communion before he left to ride down the Boydton Plank Road, where guns were growling and infantry was engaged on the far side of the frozen stream. Some green recruits, exposed to their first large-scale action, were in a state of panic along one critical part of the line, and when the good gray general rode out to rally them — a heroic figure, accustomed to exciting worshipful fervor in veterans who then would set up a shout of “Lee to the rear! Lee to the rear!” — one badly rattled soldier flung both hands above his head in terror and exclaimed: “Great God, old man, get out of the way! You don’t know nothing!” (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5902423&forum_id=2#50127890) |

Date: September 11th, 2026 6:09 PM Author: Arousing hominid home Sherman's march:
Barns exploded in flame as soon as the foragers emptied them of stock and corn; deserted houses loosed heavy plumes of smoke on the horizon; even the split-rail fences crackled along roadsides, and Kilpatrick was complaining of how “the infernal bummers,” outstripping his troopers in the race for booty, “managed to plunder every hamlet and town before the cavalry came up.” Aware that their next prize was the state capital, the very cradle of secession, the veterans chanted as they swung along the roads converging northward on their goal: “Hail Columbia, happy land! If I don’t burn you, I’ll be damned.” |

Date: September 11th, 2026 7:03 PM Author: Arousing hominid home Lee saying right after Pickett's Charge "it's all my fault" is what distinguishes him most from other great generals in history. Most of them are complete egoists incapable of taking blame for anything. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5902423&forum_id=2#50130682) |

Date: September 11th, 2026 7:07 PM Author: Arousing hominid home Preaching to the choir, bro. It wasn't just Lee- most Civil War officers were obsessed with the notion of personal honor. It was like a religion to them. Now the word is a punchline.
