That little-advertized battle (not even discussed in Texas History classes in Southeast Texas public schools, at least not when I was in school) was a stunning victory for the South. But good luck. Talk about -- and movies about -- Confederate victories (not to mention what really drove the men in grey to fight) would take us all a step closer to framing the "Civil War" as what it was: the War of Northern Aggression. If that could happen, then maybe States' rights aren't just a topic for history class. Tom, I couldn’t agree more.
