What were they protesting, that Lee gave up too early?

It was just a general attact on minorities. They must have picked venue because courts have afirmed right to hold peaceful protests in national parks.
 
Stupid-ass McClellan. War should have been over by that afternoon.
(buckweaver gets the "well-played, lad" for this thread, by the way.)
 
Hey, it's not McClellan's fault that Lincoln told him that he didn't leak the spy's name to the New Yawk Times. The man was in a bind.
 
I guess they think there is strength in numbers. What town is this in? Should it be on our list of best places to get your A*& whipped free of charge?
 
On a semi-related note, the AJC ran a story today about how the Civil War Monuments in the National Parks system are being vandalized. In particular, Union memorials were being targeted for single-car vehicle accidents and paint-ball spatter.

I can't stand what they stand for, but I have to give most of them credit (except for possibly the one cropped out on the right) for standing up unmasked for what they believe in. No matter how incredibly hateful it may be, they have the right to peacefully speak their minds just like the rest of us.
 
And they have the right to get that ass kicked free of charge. This is AmerikkKa, *** it!

Well, yeah. Just because you have the right to speak freely, that doesn't mean you can't face retribution.
 
I see bobblehead, trounced and lyman. Couple of those guys may be guests, though.
 
DH is right about Antietam/Sharpsburg. FYI, the North named battles after geographical landmarks (rivers, etc), South after cities and towns (in general, obviously Gettysburg an exception). That's why it's called the Battle of Bull Run in the North, but First (and Second) Manassas in the South. Having lived above and below the M-D Line, I got used to hearing it both ways.
