Another Terrible Day in History...7/20/1864
The Battle of Peachtree Creek:
"Few battlefields of the war have been strewn so thickly with dead and wounded as they lay that evening around Collier's Mill." (Union Major Gen. J. D. Cox)"
Another terrible bloody day on the battlefield. The Union had 1,900 dead and wounded and the Confederate's had 2,500 dead and wounded. Total of 4,400 American's gave their all or most of it on the battlefield that day. Still hard to believe that American's would disagree with each other so much that it would lead to killing each other by the tens of thousands.

Sons of Tories were leading apolitical, undereducated masses to their doom fighting for a re-establishment of an order where they would be in charge and the rest of us could work for them.
The smartest thing the men of the South ever did was blockade their own cotton because if the rich planters had bought the best European arms with it, there is no telling where we'd be now, but we'd probably have to call them "M'Lord."0
