All yours for the taking General Meade
Confederate Army Quiz
I know very little about the Confederate army, thus my score of 15/30 and more then a few were guesses.

Re: Confederate Army Quiz

Re: Confederate Army Quiz
I managed only 24. Disgusting.
Some questions are rather interesting... SPOILER ALERT
Confederate General 50% more likely to die than an enlisted man? Sounds ridiculous but.....
73 Confederate Generals were killed in combat of approx 408 general officers = 17.89%
100,000 enlisted men were killed in combat of possibly 1,500,000 = 6.7%
The reason of course is that most of them were of Brigadier general rank and were expected to lead their brigade into action right up to contact with the enemy. Hence 6 CSA dead at Franklin (only one major general and he the best combat commander of either side); 5 CSA dead at Gettysburg and so on. At Gettysburg, both sides lost one Major General - the other 7 were brigadier generals

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
