The south had the better generalship early in the war. Most of them were quite racist and slaveholders.

The north was able to build locomotives, the south was not. End of the day the south did not stand a chance. (Fun fact:
Which sherman predicted prior to the war with this reasoning).

Indeed, a nice one. ^^ When it comes to Hessian songs, I like this one more, though. ^^
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

Just be careful. Remember Mark Sanford, the Governor of South Carolina, who went hiking the Appalachian Trail? He ended up in Argentina.

So I just saw a video about a veteran responding to mean comments about him from a video where he talks with a WW2 vet and one of the comments said and I quote ¨It feels like the old vet is actually a man.. and the young lad is a pussy. No offence but he kept talking about mental health and bs. The old guy served in WW2 and did not complain once. If you can´t handle death in a war then don´t join the army.¨
And now I am filled with the urge to track down that person and force them to watch graphic videos of deaths in war to get it into their head what witnessing death is actually like.
I do be tired

Can’t blame him, it happens all the time to hikers. It’s easy to get all mixed up with the American Cordillera from the Appalachians, y’know?
