Is it just me or does he look about ready to pass out? Hardly a ringing endorsement for literacy...
Mitch Hedberg had a routine about y'all's verbal laziness... "If you say y'all instead of you all... does that mean you say s'p instead of soup? S'th instead if south?" etc
By the way, y'all lost the war with us Yankees
Just in case ya forgot...

Damned yank. 
BTW, we didn't loose the War of Northern Aggression. We just drew up a peace and decided to bide our time and rebuild until such a year as we could renew the conflict. Judging by certain actions being carried out by government in the last month and future actions sure to follow, the conflict should be renewed shortly. I'll be seein you James, boy! evil laugh followed by a tremendous YEEEEE HAWWWW

I guess it's true that you have to be tough to be a yank. You know, it takes a tough person to bear up under the judgement of All Mighty God that he rains down upon you for not choosing to live in GOD's country.

I came across this site in a roundabout way this evening. It has a
great, but kind of sad story...
On the Battlefield…
George Cary Eggleston in his great book Southern Soldier Stories, first published in 1898, tells us of a saber duel between two trained swordsmen at the Battle of Brandy Station. Eggleston titled the book Stories because some of the stories came from his friends. He wanted it noted that he was there at these places, but may not have witnessed every detail himself. He was a master story teller as the book will prove out. He also had a wonderful view of the war, he writes as if he were an officer having knowledge of many events but he was an enlisted man. In fact, he was JEB Stuart's clerk, so his position to know more then typical bits of a story put him in a perfect position to tell the "stories."
In any case, the saber duel is told like you were there and is spoken like you were talking to a friend. Eggleston tells us that the battle stopped as both sides paused to watch these two master swordsmen battle it out on the field. The Union man had just killed a Confederate Captain with his saber, so the Confederate asked permission from his superior officer to engage the Union swordsman one on one, mano a mano .
His Captain knew of his qualifications as a superior swordsman and released him from his duties to challenge the Union man. At the first pass, Eggleston remarked that sparks flew from their blades as the two warriors crossed paths. Turning at the end of his gallop, the Confederate rider threw his saber to the ground and approached the Union man at the walk, holding his reins low and his arms by his sides.
He was approaching his enemy unarmed; his own lines became quiet to see what the man would do next. The Union trooper leaned forward and after staring, lowered his blade as well and slowly approached the unarmed enemy. The two shook hands, spoke for some short time, whirled their mounts around and returned to their respective lines, ceasing the fight.
As he passed by his Captain, the Confederate simply said, "That man is my brother." They were twins from Maryland.
With me and Nathan sparring North vs. South, this kind of hit home to me. We here are all brothers in steel, gentlemen
