Bud Robertson is a consummate historian, and helps us understand the Civil War in new ways.

I enjoyed his class while attending Va Tech. I could listen to him all day.

I cant stop listening to Doc Robertson.

I truly admire this man, for he says it the way it really was. I am so tired of the northern slant on the war, saying the 'North good.....South bad'!! How mislead the people of this country are, not to know the real truth about why this war was fought. Political correctness is rampant and those who practice it are nothing but cowards, who are so afraid of what others may think about them. It was a different time, a different era, where their ideals were different than those of today.

You said a mouthful about political correctness. Dr. "Bud" Robertson clearly burned google in his statement. I Sir, have always had a voracious appetite for learning. I reckon it comes from my 'ma being nosy and always lording over her only offspring to survive birth out of three pregnancies. I will never forget when my great grandfather passed, and at the graveside service, after the preacher finished. I ask my Pa West who the feller that was beside Grampa Si? My Pa& his two brothers, Uncle Leroy and Willard are side by side. Pa West said that is our Pa West. Not knowing that l am looking at a SCV gravestone, l ask what is the funny markings on his. He and Uncles Leroy &Willard explained he fought in The Civil War. Being two months shy of my eighth birthday in '70, l thought he said Silver War. I blurted out, " He fought over money" At that time, the oldest sibling Great Aunt Loree heard us. She and Pa,Uncle Leroy &Willard remember him. For he lived to be 105,and passed on October16,1921. Only one Great Uncle l never knew and the youngest sibling Aunt Velma was too small to remember her Pa West. I have a Xeroxed copy photo of him from 1920. And a photo of the family in 1889,with Great-Great Grandma "Queene Mary" holding my Grampa Si. He being an infant. When that Xeroxed photo was placed in the newspaper it was a year old, and Great-Great Grandpa had passed. And was the oldest soldier to be buried in that cemetery. I don't ever give his name or location, because of vandals. It wouldn't due for me to find out that some sorry sack of dung desecrate his gravestone and resting place. Sorry to be long-winded.

Frank Potts is a hero of the South,for the simple reason that an invader came into his homeland and paid with his life being duped by a conniving lawyer turned politician.
