Battles Fought on Southern Soil

In closing this blog album about the Battle of Aiken, I guess I would have to say that some in South Carolina, and maybe throughout the South, are still lamenting over the Civil War. Course the following words from William Tecumseh Sherman as he rested his trooops in Savannah didn't encourage feelings of unity or endearing sentiments:

"When I go through South Carolina, it will be one of the most horrible things in the history of the world. The devil himself couldn't restrain my men in that state."
