Mi'kmaq's Discussion Thread of Stuff Regarding Interesting Stuff

[Mi'kmaq]

So I decided to make this thread for interesting things. Ranging from cultural topics to politics. Food to wood burning stoves. :cool:

Ya know, Rithal. Can you just let us dream, hmmm? Because War of Rights needs to be released and cat sacrifices have been known to summon release dates or even bring about the release of the game that very day.

Since this is the thread of stuff, I thought I would share this documentary with y'all.

Bump post :D

Proof that the Civil War was absolutely not a black and white conflict. Lysander Spooner, a Yankee Anarchist and Christian abolitionist, was ardently opposed to the North invading the South. He held this belief because the Yankee Republicans continuously refused to take a moral stance against slavery. He supported guerrilla warfare against slave owners by black slaves and non-slaveholding Southerners, stating that "Your numbers, combined with those of the Slaves, will give you all power. You have but to use it, and the work is done." Spooner conspired with John Brown to bring about a massive slave insurrection in the South. After the war, Spooner rabidly opposed Reconstruction, as he did the war.

Well.... here's an interesting fact... One of Nathan Bedford Forrest's many horses that was shot out from under him is buried within a mile or two of my house. The horse was killed during the Battle of Thompson's Station which was more of a skirmish in which Forrest led his men in a flanking attack and cut, I believe, an entire brigade off from retreat and captured them all while they were marching to Nashville, Tennessee.

It was during the same battle that Alice Thomson, a 17 year old who was watching the battle from the door of her plantation home, ran out and carried the confederate flag forward after the color bearer of the 3rd Arkansas Cavalry Regiment was shot. She was praised for reforming the regiment around the colors and some would say keeping the regiment from retreating. It was through this action that the battle was secured and Union activity in Middle-Tennessee was deterred for a while.

Was that interesting enough? :D

A very powerful story. Never heard it before, surprisingly. :D

[Rithal]

A very powerful story. Never heard it before, surprisingly. :D

It seems like a lot of stories from Tennessee battles never really escape from being retold locally into the light of being widely known.

Here is another one!

The Battle of Franklin as some may know took place in 1864. It was the climax of a series of maneuvers Hood and his Army of Tennessee made to try and cut off and destroy Scholfield and his Army of Ohio. The destruction of this army would open the door to Nashville and effectively open up Middle Tennessee once again.

The battle was basically a failed confederate charge into the center of Union lines on the southern end of the town. This failure was comparable to Pickett's Charge, as confederates crossed a mile or so of farmland before reaching the forward skirmish line of the Army of Ohio. The initial contact was secured by the Confederacy, and they basically marched straight through Union lines.

The Union lines were made up primarily of breastworks, but the Carter House was incorporated into the defense. This house saw serious fighting as it was at the center of Union lines. This same house was the childhood home of Confederate Brigadier General John C. Carter. Carter's brigade was at the forefront of the fighting. So, he was basically fighting in the shadow of his home. Talk about some motivation! :D

After hours of fighting, the Union reinforced its lines too quickly, and Confederate lines broke. It was a complete bloodbath. Among the dead were SIX Confederate generals. One of which was, you guessed it, John C. Carter. He was mortally wounded, found overnight by people burying the dead, and rushed back to the house. It was then that Carter took his dying breath on the front steps of his home. Imagine that! You fight through Shiloh, and Stone's River and countless other battles only to get back to your own home and die.

This isn't the only story from this battle however :)

On the Union side, Major MacArthur of the 24th Wisconsin fought nearby the Carter house. This same lowly major was the father of the World War Two five-star general, Douglas MacArthur! They were the only father-son duo to both get medals of honor. And also that tells you something.... There was only one generation between the Civil War and World War Two! :D

...After hours of fighting, the Union reinforced its lines too quickly, and Confederate lines broke. It was a complete bloodbath. Among the dead were SIX Confederate generals.
One of those other 6 is Patrick R. Cleburne of Ireland (Us home is Arkansas) my favorite Civil war General.

[A. P. Hill]

They say, Bermuda Hundred Virginia is full of ghosts from the civil war past ... I can attest to the truthfulness of this. On two of my visits to the area, I had other worldly experiences that scared the bejesus outta me. Both experiences happened in the darkness of night.

One in particular was a soldier who was keeping pace with my truck traveling at 60 miles an hour, for about 2 miles. And he wasn't even breaking a sweat, and he didn't have a horse.

The other one, was a series of lanterns shining out over the trenches of the battlefield. A light would shine out, blink out and then be 1,000 yards down the way, blink on, then out, and then show up in another place. I watched them for the better part of an hour to make sure I wasn't seeing things or someone was hoaxing me. The lights displayed on regular intervals.

[Landree]

Elm Springs in Columbia, TN is a haven of paranormal activity. Not only by those who have lived there, but hundreds of Confederate ghosts - including an unknown Confederate general. We've had a medium out there many times and she was pointing out details that she would have no idea about except for us. Very interesting stuff.

EDIT: Also, we laid to rest the spirit of Colonel Will "Bull" Nelson with his boys at Shiloh.

[JaegerCoyote]

I have stood where Jefferson Davis stood when he learned of Lincoln's assassination, there's plaque at the site here in Uptown. Also there's another stating we were the site of the last meeting of the Confederate Cabinet.

[crazychester1247]

Slow day today. There hasn't been much activity on the forums.:(
I wonder if the next field report is going to be about cavalry? I really hope it is.

[BloodBeag]

cavalry probably wont come in until very late because it needs a whole new set of coding and animations for the horses

Has anyone seen gods of egypt? You7 could say it was... Godawful.:cool:

Well being an all female cast this time around it'll be interesting to see what they can scare up. ;)

[crazychester1247]

I have had it with these mother******* William Carneys, on this mother******* forum!:mad:

This is just rediculous.

Sorry with the edited swearing mods.

Well at least the forum has more active users now.:p

[Bravescot]

You should have seen the hilarious "big boy" act PM he sent to the Mods and Admins xD!

[crazychester1247]

I can't even imagine. XD

[Legion]

At least he's determined lol, poor guy

No, not poor guy. What he did was incredibly stupid and deserves not sympathy.

Are you talking about the Goudea/Carney/Buford/etc guy, It's getting to confusing

All the same guy yeah, I'm talking about him.

I don't condone what he did, but I feel that we should have some mercy

[crazychester1247]

The guy sent me some hilarious PM just before he was banned that said in all caps and a huge font size... "I"M THE KING!" XD


I don't condone what he did, but I feel that we should have some mercy

He might have got lucky and got the ban lifted eventually if he hadn't spammed the forum with fake accounts.

[Locke1740]

Alright, I don't like getting on to this topic but I will explain what happened if I need to

[Legion]

I read what he did, but I still feel we should have given him a second chance once he calmed down. I agree that his spamming was annoying and that he should be banned for a while, but it was hilarious.

[TrustyJam]

It should be Ecto-2 not 1. And they copied how Winston joined with the girl. When I was little I loved ghost busters but I grew out of it and now my brother loves it.

[crazychester1247]

Luke... I am not your father. I am a potato.


Because random.

[Legion]

Now we just have to find out who Reys father is, I'd be disappointed if it really is Luke, that would be too predictable.

[David Dire]

Isn't it officially already Luke?

[crazychester1247]

Big ol' NOPE!

That would actually be pretty cool. But I hope her father is just some random guy. I'm getting tired of everyone in the galaxy either being a Skywalker or a Solo.

[David Dire]

Big ol' NOPE!

I'm an idiot then. Although I did last watch it at christmas time.

I wouldn't mind her father being an empire supporter,. But not anything special, either, just a guy that likes the empire.

OHH. That could be a nice story line right there. Maybe after that we can start to sympatizize with Kylo Ren some more, and maybe she could start to turn to the dark side a little bit. That would be awesome.

[Locke1740]

me too

Wait a second. If I remember correctly Jedi knights weren't supposed to have children.

[Bravescot]

Wait a second. If I remember correctly Jedi knights weren't supposed to have children.

Which is why it would be that much better!

[crazychester1247]

Hmm. Well Ray would be really young to be Obi-Wan's kid.

I have a feeling it's probably going to be someone from the expanded universe. Rebels, TCW ect. ect.

[David Dire]

Eh, I think that's still pretty predictable and not that original. Normal people are usually underrated in movies like this.

[crazychester1247]

Eh, I think that's still pretty predictable and not that original. Normal people are usually underrated in movies like this.

I know, which is why I want it to be no one of conseqence.

Unfortunately what I want and what's probably going to happen are two different things.

Oh and speaking of Star Wars and sequels, lets talk about The Phantom Menace. (You: Oh god. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).) Anyway as the internets would have us believe their was an early cut of the film that some early viewers (who hated the released movie) said was absolutely awesome. The only problem was it still had Jar Jar, and was 6 hours long.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it real? Would you watch it? Will we ever see it? Are we alone in the universe? Where are my pants?

[Legion]

I really want it to be Obi-Wan

Thats who I want the Father to be. He's my Favorite Jedi and it would give a good spin on the story. Unfortunately I don't think Rey is old enough to be Obi-Wans daughter.

[A. P. Hill]

Actually I thought the parents were Lonestar and Princess Vespa. ;)

[crazychester1247]

Oh my god! NO NOT SPACE BALLS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ha! Love that movie!

[A. P. Hill]

What you mean Lonestar and Vespa weren't part of starwars? :rolleyes:

[JaegerCoyote]

Jar Jar was supposed to be a Sith Lord, but people hated him so they had to use Dooku instead. Thanks haters for ruining a awesome moment.

I was talking of the youtube video explaining the theory and why it makes sense for him to be sith. If thats what you mean?

I didn't expect it to be about the Spanish Inquisition...

[Pvt.Scott]

I think Uncharted would be a good movie based off a game. But you would need someone who looks exactly like Nathan Drake. My Technology teacher looks like him a bit.

[crazychester1247]

Speaking of video game movies Activision is making a video game movie TRILOGY... out of Tetris. F*CKING TETRIS!!! LITERALLY ANY OTHER VIDEO GAME YOU EVER MADE WOULD MAKE A BETTER MOVIE THAN TETRIS! You had one job Activision, one job!:mad:

First you kill CoD now this. Whats next, are you going to make Ride to Hell 2 with money you stole from a charity that provided care to kids with ass cancer! Get your head in the game!:mad:

Also the first movie is going to cost 80 million dollars. That could have been used to feed starving children, or make a decent CoD game.:(
