I never meant to cause a problem but I need to speak my mind. This crisis the South is facing can not go unheard and I just wanted to hear more from my fellow players about this problem. I understand it is kinda ridiculous I did this; I guess rant on some forum page but I felt that it was appropriate. You may delete this if you wish Trusty. It is just I really love the south, her culture, and her people and I don't want to sit down and watch the continuation of the crisis that is affecting the South. Whether you like it or not this game, and her community gave me hope to pursue my studies even more and give a voice to this problem. Thank you for thank Trusty and your team for this game, honestly this game it wonderful and put fire back into my belly to stand up for what is right.

I'm glad you got it off your chest and I am sure you did not mean to create a stir... but you might have.. I know how you feel, I'm nearly 54 years old and feel much the same from Alabama. But I am a Mvskoke (whites call us creeks) so my culture and way of life was changed way before the second revolution. I know how it feels to be a second rate second rate citizen with very few ways of life I understand still around, and if it isn't what whites (or I should really say mainstream media say) then it just isn't. .. but having said that.. I hope the thread gets closed before it gets too far. because in 54 yrs it has only gotten worse.
All governments, everywhere derived its power by the consent of the people. The government you have is by your own consent. Not by those brave grey dead of one hundred and fifty plus years ago.
Hey no one called you a libtard much lest say anything about liberals. It is people like you that stoke the fire. By bringing politics into a thread about a disappearance of customs and historical values about the Civil War, the South and the U.S. You will be the reason why this thread gets closed. Don't be that guy.
Hi everyone, long time lurker and this is my first post I guess. I have always thought of myself as a neutral person. I like to hear all sides no matter where they may be from and so in that light, I've always been extremely curious about the story of the people who were defeated. I have always had a fascination for history outside and inside my country (and yeah I live in a third world country so people who claim that Civil War games are niche thing must be wrong or maybe it's just me who like niche things :P).
I think my first exposure to the American Civil War must be through the novel "The Red Badge of Courage". I remembered being utterly fascinated and absorbed by that book. Anyways, I've since then looked for a game that is a FPS and has large line battle and then I popped into here. I've never been to America but I do have a healthy dosage of American culture from the amount of movies and comics that get pirated around here.
Right now America is embroiled in (from what I can gather from the news) a severe case of political drama. I'm not gonna say much about it with me being a complete outsider but I would say that I'm pretty liberal and support a bit of both socialistic and capitalistic policies. I'm just gonna point out that I don't agree with what David Dire did. He seems to have randomly started attacking other posters and OP for no good reason other than a purely political one. As much as I'm personally against Trump, I don't think attacking someone from down South is the right thing to do to fight against him. I think the main problem with modern day America is they don't seem to have any communications between liberals and conservatives. I'm a huge fan of talking things out and I believed if people just sat down and go through the issues, they can probably find some common grounds. So please David Dire stop fighting against someone who you don't even fully understand.
As for people in America's South, you have to admit that certain aspects of your past were shaded in some rather bad stuff. That doesn't mean all of it is bad of course, just that we have to accept some parts of our past and moved on with it and try to make up for our mistakes. I say a good example of making for their nation's crime is Germany which has since the end of WW2 gone on to rebuild and rejoin the world as a 1st world country. I know some people will point out the over-immigration problem that is plaguing Germany right now as a negative but honestly I (as a potential immigrant in the distant future) really don't think it's that bad. I mean it's like taking in your neighbors whose farms just burned down. Of course if too many asked to be let in, well that's a problem but you could always direct them to another neighbor.
Anyways long post short, let's not be too hasty and attack others when we do not understand who they really are.
