Lol, yes, I suppose "add comments below" is the norm. The information in the box changes automatically each day. So if someone wants to comments on something that happened on a particular date, it might be best to copy the info and past and then comment, such as:
1862 - Confederate cavalry leader General J.E.B. Stuart looted Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Stuart ordered his men to turn back to Virginia by the afternoon.

OCtober 16, 1859-John Browns infamous raid on Harpers Ferry. I was able to visit Harpers Ferry a couple years ago ( I have some picture I need to post) A beutiful little town. Todays the anniversary.
I could have gone camping or something there a few years ago….I imagine it's a scenic place, is it not?
1978 – U.S. President Carter signed a bill that restored full U.S. citizenship rights to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Interesting, I didnt know he had been without them all that time.

I doubt something like this would fly today given the rise of political correctness. I'm not totally sure Carter was correct to do this. Davis resisted until the last....I doubt he would have even approved of what Carter did.
Oct 19 1864 my G-grandfather was wounded at Cedar Creek Va. He was regimental ensign(flagbearer) for the 51st Ga Regiment. He survived with a crippled arm. I live on his farm.
1864 – Confederate General John Bell Hood marched from Gadsen to Guntersville, Alabama in order to cross the Tennessee River. However, Hood had forgotten to retrieve his army's pontoon bridge from the Coosa River in eastern Alabama. He took the troops 50 miles out of their way and made a surprise attack on Tennessee unlikely. When Hood did move into Tennessee Union General William T. Sherman's force was ready and waiting. He forgot his bridge? ::)
StumpI did not meet my G-grandfather . He died 24 years before my birth. However his house is still standing and occupied by one of my childhood friends. I have several pieces of his furniture in my home. I actually had four G-grandfathers in the Confederate army. One POW,two wounded.
1865 – Henry Wirz, the commandant of Andersonville Prison (Camp Sumter), was executed for the brutality and the mistreatment committed under his command. Wirz was the only Confederate to be executed as a war criminal after the Civil War. Do you agree with this? What about Forrest and the fort Pillow incident? Was he just an example to appease some hot heads in the north clamoring for someone to die for the treason of rebellion? (besides the hundreds of thousands of southerners who had already paid the ultimate price)
U.S. Civil WarHistory for December 81863 - U.S. President Lincoln offered his plan for reunification with his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction. And the Northern fire brands went insane!
