I recently decided to start a weekly thread about photography called "Tintype Tuesday", but I thought of another that I could do as well. It would be called "Fun Fact Friday". Every Friday I'll post one interesting fact regarding ACW, or non-ACW military history. What are your thoughts on this idea, and what forum should I post these on?
 
non-ACW military history.
Most of that is not permitted in CivilWarTalk:

Sounds like it needs to stay ACW history. Interested to see what you find.
 
I think there's plenty of military and non military Civil War era fun and interesting facts to keep you busy with thread ideas and stay within the rules. If you come across anything not Civil War related that you think people here would find interesting you can always post that in the Campfire Chat where we can talk about anything short of modern politics.
 
Perhaps if it is a non-Civil War fact that actually depends on the Civil War. For example a technology fact about World War I which involves machine guns, observation balloons, hand grenades, submarines, artillery on rails, breechloading artillery, railroads, trench warfare, cavalry, obsolete weapon usage, medical care, naval technology and tactics, and so on.

Or the Spanish American War where a former Confederate General was in command of U.S. troops fighting the Spanish in Cuba and became excited when the U.S. force started pushing back the Spanish force causing him to say something similar to, "we got those Yankees on the run now!"

If you do it right you can tie all kinds of stuff from different wars to the Civil War.
