Well then I guess you have not been to Gettysburg, you have to stop and think and take in the true size of the area, the same for Valley Forge BIG!

I live about a half an hour from Sharpsburg and hour from Gettysburg. You don�t really get the experience from film that actually being there provides. I�m a pretty analytical person; don�t believe in ghosts and such. But walking through those old battle fields still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. This part of Maryland was raided a few times during the war, and the county seat, Rockville, had a statue of Jubal Early in the court house square. In recent years the liberal arrivals forced its removal. Maryland was the first state that had its rights trumped by the Federal Government, since then almost every state in the union has yielded much of the power that the constitution guaranteed to the people. While the north had the moral high ground on its side, the law was on the side of the south. The damage done to the constitution has never been repaired. The war was actually about the rights of the people, called the state in the constitution, vs. the rights of the federal government. A battle that still rages today.
