Thanks for the post. Depending on how well they are done, I enjoy historical dramas.

I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse.

Republican Generals of that era. Never surrendered like the Southern Ones with statues to them.
