Hi eyerybody,
I've been interested in the civil war for about two years now, and am eager to talk about the things I've learned about it so far. I know that some of my ancestors served in the northern army, but I don't know about any that served in the south.
I hope that this can be an enjoyable experience!
Sounds like another yankee to me. We'll try to bring the light to your eyes, but don't expect any miracles. On the other hand, you will discover a great deal of knowledge floating about this board (myself excluded). This is a great place to learn and enjoy the journey through a most interesting piece of our history. Welcome aboard!
You are about to embark on the ride of your life. You will get the equivalent of a graduate degree in Civil War History in a few months. Jump in. The worst that can happen is that you may start to think. This is the greatest forum you could have chosen to join. It rocks! Hang in there just a bit longer and you'll start to appreciate what you've gotten into.
Ole said it all; welcome to the board and I hope you enjoy your stay.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
I not really sure if I'm a yank or a reb, because I've been in both north and south! Tommorow I'm planning to go to a civil war rememberance meeting! I hope it will be a good experience for me to learn more.
