Just got here man. I am interested in discussing (and learning) several subjects, ie: American Civil War, current geopolical events, military history, etc...

Done and welcome to WAB. If you have not already done so, please take a look at the Completely Unoffical WAB Survival Guide and the Forum Guidelines (revised 03/13/11)

I've studied the Civil War mainly from the Southern perspective. First because I'm Southern. But also because of how they accomplished so much with so little (militarily). Also, I believe that the outcome was almost pre-determined. Shelby Foote was once asked if he thought that the war was inevitable. He replied that it wasn't so much inevitable, but it was necessary.......

THen you will surely find our American Civil War forum interesting where some of our most heated historical discussion have taken place.

**memphis1** · 22 Oct 11,, 02:42

Thanks for the direction...I look forward to it.

I see you got here. Welcome mate. Nice to see another friendly face. With you here & Shek back from his trip to the Middle East the Civil War threads might warm up again. Have fun on WAB (oh, and check out the 'unofficial survival guide', it helps).

Welcome, mate!

Welcome to the WAB Memphis. There is nothing on the ACW that is not known here on the Site. I'm sure some of the experts have been re-born as they are almost there in body and soul when they speak of it.
