Which is the better Civil War memorial?

[Novine]

Northern Alabama was known for its anti-Confederacy sentiments during the Civil War.

Why does one have to be better than the other?

Mike, I located the photo of Joseph in the Library of Congress web site; the photo of William from the Chester county [[PA) historical archives, and the photo of gt gramps on an U.S. Army website. I'm still amazed that I put all three together. I also have photos of the grave markers of all three; one at the Spottsylvania National Cemetery, one in Philadelphia, and one in Wichita, KS.

Maybe I'm gonna have to troll the web again. Stripes and bars help finding pics....all of mine except two were privates. G-g-grandfather, his brother in law, and an uncle & shitload of first cousins of his wifes. Perhaps 9-10 all together. Artillery, Infantry, Calvary & Sharpshooters. His bro.-in-law is buried at the Marrieta Natl Cem. Battle of Atlanta

That was the Michigan boys....also had 4 boys from 3rd Ky Mt. Inf CSA under Forrest. .

My g-g-grandfathers from both sides lived together with their son & daughter in older age. My great aunt told me superb stories of what conversation at the supper table might get to. The northern boy was a scamp, the southern boy was very God fearing & pious.
