Appalachia cuts deep through 'Bama, so I have it on good authority to assume there were some Appalachians at Little Round Top as well. You can retract your statement at any point here. :^)
Alright, first, that's a map the Federal Government drew up during the 1960s as part of the War on Poverty based on self reporting by Governors; academics don't accept it as a valid map of Appalachia. I think that should be obvious from the fact counties in West Tennessee and Philadelphia suburbs are included in it, but that's besides the point.
For your point in particular, the 15th Alabama was drawn from the Southeastern areas of the State. You really should stop now before you embarrass yourself further.

As I said, it's woefully obvious you don't understand how citations work or academic review is carried out.
That you've yet to ask for book chapters or provide any sources of your own really shows how pathetically weak your position is.

It's not a strawman if the man himself thinks boys and old men killing people from a defensive position with a massive terrain advantage can only be summed up to Aryan superiority which is exactly what he does think.

The 4th Alabama was organized in Dalton, Georgia.
The 44th was organized in Selma, Alabama.
The 47th Alabama was organized at Loachapoka.
The 48th Alabama was organized at Auburn.
None of these are Appalachian locations in Alabama, so it's time to admit you were wrong.

Oh, yes, citing fiction makes it data, I forgot. Quality Lost Causer discourse again!
That would imply I'm taking your WN piss seriously. This very conversation has been had before in the RWDT, with far better debate opponents, and the actual information has already been laid out. I'm just here to mock your weak position, not repeat myself endlessly like some half-wit.
Also, why would I ask for book chapters about citations in an article discussing fiction if I want to discuss, you know, reality? That thing Lost Causers have a tenuous relationship with; familiar with it at all?

Daily reminder that the 1st Maryland Regiment in the Revolutionary War was organized at Baltimore, and so accordingly was recruited from Baltimore instead of from all over the state, because that's what organizing means when you have no grasp of how mobilization of units in wartime works.

Just like how the Big Red One is currently organized in Fort Riley, Kansas, which means they only recruit from the immediate area. :^3Yusseria wrote:That's not him saying or even implying it was due to Aryan Supermacy lol he's saying the Germans were simply able to give the Soviets a good fight even at the end.

I think it's blatant obvious from the fact you're still engaging me that's not the case, you literally just have nothing to respond with. If this argument has been had before, you would readily have access to that information to repost. Instead, despite me having already asked once for you to provide citations, you've evaded.
I believe the expression is put up or shut up, so now's the time to dance, dear.
So either you suffer from amnesia or you really are just that bad of a liar. I provided three citations, two articles and then an entire book; either you don't understand how an article works (it doesn't have chapters) or you know you're beat and just too pathologically incapable of admitting it.

Regiments in the Civil War were organized in their local area, that's how the mobilization system worked. Unless you can find records that indicate otherwise, quite clearly none of the regiments involved came from Appalachian Alabama, so it's time to admit you were wrong.

No, he's saying terrain isn't the only deciding factor in a battle, which is absolutely true.
This image you've created of him over bitter debates of him being a white supremacist really has gotten into your head, hasn't it?

Point blank, how were regiments in the Civil War mobilized? In their local area. Either find me a source that supports your position, or it's time to concede.

So in other words, you've conceded. Thank you, took you long enough.
