The text states that fighting occurred during the war. I assume that "During" the war, means throughout the whole war, considering he mentions that it changed hands at least seven times, plus they had to rebuild everything only to blow it up again. I'm not an engineer but I know enough about drills that in order to rebuild an oil well, it takes a considerable amount of time and resources, that for it to lost and rebuilt at least several times would have to take the whole duration of the war. But your scienaro actually makes sense. |

No, you. <_<
Well in that case you failed HARD.
loling over your epic fail. I've read this part of the book already, earlier tonight. I don't think it discounts my side at all. How do you know that these demolitions weren't carried out by SAS-style raiders with support from Sequoyahtine rebels? How does blowing up a few oil wells necessarily constitute a full-scale fighting front (which isn't mutually exclusive with a rebellion BTW)? "Conquerors" could imply these armed bodies as well as their opponents in the Yankee regular soldiery.

Nowhere in IATD, at least by what you've quoted, does it say that the Confederate Army had taken the area by force. Try again.
Stop getting butthurt by every little thing that doesn't agree with what you think or want. :rolleyes: |

Custer, I have never heard such a supercilious, juvernile responce in my whole life. You're the throwing swear words at me, Custer. I only said I refuse to be drawn into a flame war by stopping to your leavel of responce by mocking my responcese. No where did I start mocking you, until you started acting like a Popinjay towards my posts, so don't you cry foul because I tell you to calm down.
Dear God, that responce sounds like something my 3 year old nephew could come up with.
Because the text states that when the sides moved out they blew up the oil-wells. It dosen't state that the other side blew them up before the enemy was forced to retreat, that's why.
Excause me, but YOU'RE the one who started this whole mess, because i disagreed with you. Get off your High-Horse custer. |
