      You guys do also realize that during the Civil War barbaric tactics were used. They would sit in an open field and shoot at each other while in a line. But in the Revolutionary War mainly Guerrila Tactics were used

      @onewhitebaby i would say guerrila tactics were a bit more barbaric in the civil war they still had strategies and positioning it was very professional except towards the end of the war when the union started buring cities down and the south started getting gruesome. but nonetheless i would rather fight in war that we thought we would win!

      If you think about this way More then twice as many lives were lost in the civil war so you would have a 50% higher chance of surviving the war.

      I dont think it was shameful. I mean we fought to give rights to those whom deserved them. I think the south was shameful but the north was just in their acts of war

      @alex What about states' rights eh? We're still fighting over them! Slavery was wrong but it wasnt the only thing the south went to war over and plus the union wasnt even fighting for black rights in the beginning they still had slave states far into the war!

    yea? well, civil war was also WAAAAAAAAY more costly, casualty wise. and depending on where you live, you would either be for slavery or aganist, none of that "i'd move north" crap. if you're in the south, you're confederate in this scenario.

      That's hardly fair. Especially considering the war was originally "To protect the Union" for the North and "To drive out the Northern invaders" for the south (Southern forces even had black soldiers fighting for them). Lincoln forced it towards slavery to keep Britain out of the picture. And I'm sure plenty of people then moved north/south so they could fight on the other side, such as General Lee himself, who was fighting for the national army until Virginia seceded.

      Oh, and sorry to be here again, but the South did not have blacks fighting for them. Even they weren't dumb enough to give the people they suppressed guns.

      @D3athBecomes The only reason Lncoln did anything with the slaves was because he needed to hurt the south. In fact, before he issued the emancipatiob proclamation, Lincoln told the south that if they surrendered, current slave states would be able to keep their slaves.

      The colonies was like 90% gonna lose the only reason they did win was because Britain didnt think they could put up a fight plus fighting +3 wars already (and the americans had to live shitholes for winter while the hessians partied)

      Grant used pyrrhic tactics that resulted in massive casualties. A far greater percentage and number of his soldiers died than Lee's. The only reason Grant won was through shear numbers. Still want to fight for Grant?

    Personally, I would rather be having a war with another country. I mean, fighting for rights, thats noble, but within your own country just seems sad. Like a family who hates eachother. I don't like the thought of that. Plus... I dunno just seems awesome to be able to say, "Fuck yeah, I gave this country its damn independence. I am a fucking BAD ASS."

    could I use modern weaponry as it would change the tide of war. also my gun would take less than 1min to reload as compared to the guns of that time taking like 10min to reload. could kill more red coats and snipe from about 2 miles away. while in cqb I would slaughter all of those red coats.
