Well then, let me be the first to greet you, Jeremy. Welcome to civilwartalk- a wonderful place to follow along and learn and jump right on a discussion with hearty friendly and knowledgable folks who will all be very glad of your company. Hope you enjoy the boards as much as I do. And you couldn't have found a finer matter of interest than our American Civil Dispute. regards, ed

Howdy, welcome to the boards. You will have lots of fun here.
BTW, I'm 7th Generation Texan myself.

and be prepared for an addictive immersion into a particularly controversial segment of American history. You'll be exposed to facts and 'tudes and angles you never dreamt existed. Expand your book budget and clear the boards for extra spare time. Join the party!

Welcome aboard and don't think you'll do all the learning. I'm sure once you get your bearings straight, you'll teach us a thing or two.
Hope you enjoy your time here.
Sincerely,
Unionblue

Welcome, I have no doubt you will have the opportunity to learn all you can.

We're very glad to have you aboard. I'm sure you will enjoy it here.
