The old farmer said, "OK, but don't go in that field." The Highways employee said, "I have the authority of the State of West Virginia to go where I want. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on farm land." So the old farmer went about his farm chores. Later, he heard loud screams and saw the Department of Highways employee running for the fence and close behind was the farmer's prize bull. The bull was madder than a nest full of hornets and the bull was gaining on the employee at every step. The old farmer called out, "Show him your card", "SHOW, HIM, YOUR,CARD!!!!"

    Question about Civil War...?
    Question:
    I'm writing a paper on Civil War, and I was wondering if you could name the most important battles... I got a lot sources, and each of them give me different information... Here's what I got: - Fort Sumter - First Bull Run - Anaconda Plan and Union Blockade - Pea Ridge - Fort Henry - Fort Donelson - First battle between the ironclads (Monitor vs. Virginia) - Peninsular Campaign - Capture of New Orleans - Seven Days - Second Bull Run - Antietam - Fredericksburg - Stones River - Shiloh - Perryville - Chancelorsville - Siege of Vicksburg - Gettysburg - Chickamauga - Chattanooga - Wilderness - Spotslyvania - Cold Harbor - Siege of Petersburg - Mobile Bay - Atlanta Campaign - Franklin - Nashville - Appomattox Have I omitted something important? Do I have something that is not so important? Thanks

    Answer:
    I am afraid that unless it is thesis it is going too be way too cumbersome but with the exception of but two I would be hard pressed to suggest removing. These two are "Stone River and Pea Ridge" I could suggest others to add but your hand are going to be full. I do hope when you get to Appomattox you set the record straight, it was NOT the end of the war but just the Army of Northern Virginia surrendering, nothing more. If I can be of any help please let me know. God Bless You and Our Southern People.

After the loss, Union Brigade General Irvin McDowell was relieved of his position and command of the Union army was handed over to Major General George B. McClellan. Name this battle. Second Bull Run/Manassas Gettysburg First Bull Run/Manassas Shiloh 2: On April 12, 1861, this battle in South Carolina marked the beginning of the Civil War.

The effect of this Union victory effectively split the Confederacy in two. Name this battle.

    Why are the hokies getting zero love?
    Question:
    They have beaten duke, north carolina... twice, virginia, boston college, and maryland. True they have lost to nc. state twice and there is no excuse for that but why can they not stay in the top 25? Duke has lost as many as 4 in a row and one victory over bc launches them up to 18. To me it looks like the AP is doing as good as a job as NBA all-star voting...(duke = shaq, vt = every player on the bulls). If they finish second in the ACC and make a run in their tournament what seed do they deserve? 3...4..5? thanks for your time. krabbendam for president!

    Answer:
    Virginia Tech is a better team than people think, they have not really been consistent in ACC teams not against Duke and North Carolina though. They'll end up a four seed most likely and a four seed you don't want in your bracket. Very athletic.
