Campfire Chat - General DiscussionsThis is a forum for posting discussion topics, questions, current events, and anything else you'd like to chat about. Please post serious Civil War History threads in appropriate History Forums.
Although modern politics is within the guidelines for this forum, it is highly volatile and therefore divisive. Smoothly functioning families and other hospitable organizations do not talk about politics and religion.
I'll not comment other than to say that the History Channel and "Ice Road Truckers" is far more entertaining than the convention. I suspect that the Republican Convention will be equally as thrilling.

Sorry folks. I apologize for starting a "modern" thread. I'll just continue living in the past like the good Southerner that I am!

Who knew?
Before the thread is closed, I have something on topic and Civil War-related: tonight Hillary called Harriet Tubman a "brave New Yorker". No doubt she also thinks of Frederick Douglass as a New Yorker. And here all this time I'd been thinking the Eastern Shore was over there across the Bay, not somewhere in the Empire State.

A fine "first post" GNLaFrance. Welcome to the board. There is a forum for you to introduce yourself to the membership. It isn't necessary, but it is traditional. If you don't get there, you have my welcome.

Thank you, sir. My son-in-law is a Norwegian and named Sten Ole. He's a very nice young man, but I have trouble forgiving him for stealing my daughter and dragging her off to a land of ice, snow and not enough sunlight
