One of Grant's actually. I almost went with him. Glad I didn't.

Is last name enough for the general?

Last name is fine, as long as you don't try to pass off a super common one (Smith, Johnson, etc.) as a cop-out answer.

You're luck Gunpowder. I thought you'd go Calhoun, so I changed my mind. I think you've referenced him a number of times.

I didn't think he'd be a one pointer but I took my chances.

I thought about going with Breckenridge, glad I didn't. Also considered Rockefeller but assumed he'd have multiple selections - that one surprised me.

howard · Post by **howard** » Fri Jul 29, 2016 8:09 pm

Jubal Early. The correct answer is Jubal Early. Lew Wallace is also acceptable.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Fri Jul 29, 2016 9:28 pm

Holy fuck, you people are impressive. Several of those names are familiar, but no way in hell I ever would have come up with them, or even known they were Civil War generals. Chedda, you are one lucky fuck that nobody else said Sherman. Sherman, Lee Jackson and Grant were all I had. Fuck, did Grant go unanswered?

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Jul 29, 2016 10:31 pm

Fun fact. Nathaniel Forrest allegedly founded the KKK (allegedly, because it is in dispute.)

howard · Post by **howard** » Fri Jul 29, 2016 10:35 pm

According to the Ken Burns film, he quit the KKK a few years later. Because they had become too violent for his tastes. This defies historical logic but it is a great line. Enlisted as a private; ended the war as a lieutenant general (3-star).

The strength of an army, like the power in mechanics, is estimated by multiplying the mass by the rapidity; a rapid march augments the morale of an army, and increases its means of victory.

Get there the firstus, with the mostus.

+1
I had Grant and Custer but wasn t sure about their ranks. Picked Lee thanks to Dukes of Hazzard.

Should have said that. A character in my favorite show of all time is named after him.

You have a much better excuse to not know Civil War generals. I love reading and learning about history, but for some reason the Civil War never interested me.

Will give a few more days due to the Swamp outage and me traveling.

Also: since the "real" Swampcrash is about to start soon, do we want to call this one a draw if there's no winner, or just keep going as long as it takes?

This was a great idea, especially with the decreasing choices every week. Would recommend.

duff · Post by **duff** » Tue Aug 16, 2016 9:27 am

Not that it would change my score much, but I just checked my message to you, and I had Eric Crouch.

Post by **Sabo** » Tue Aug 16, 2016 9:29 am

Darn!

Well played, wlu_lax. And yes, this was a great idea. Thanks for arranging it, Johnny!

Yeah! Appreciate the effort carwash. This was a fun one and quick to respond to each week. Go gut instinct. Also unique stableford scoring always makes me happy.
