Welcome to our board. I look forward to you posting your ideas and opinions here and you would more than likely have a point of view few of us regulars would have.
Enjoy your stay here and please feel free to give us your own take on things, Civil War and otherwise.
Sincerely,
Unionblue

Your countrymen have a long tradition of serving America with Pulaski being the most famous.
Yes, here in Illinois they even celebrate Pulaski's contribution to our nation's birth with an official state holiday.
Glad to see the international interest in our "war between the states." I trust you will enjoy being part of the community, Nico.

It should go without saying that although I am a proud member of the military, my posts in no way reflect the official policies of the USAF or the United States government.
A big welcome from the state of Wisconsin. It is our pleasure to have you on this forum sir. I look forward to seeing your input. You have a unique perspective. Huzzah!

Our splendid regiment is almost destroyed. We have had nearly 400 men killed and wounded in the battles. Seven of our officers were shot and three killed in yesterday's battle and nearly 150 men killed and wounded. All from less than 300 engaged. The men have stood like iron....Maj. Rufus Dawes, 6th Wisconsin Volunteers
Nice to see more CW buffs from Europe on the boards.
