"Stump the Yankee"

[LincolnMan]

Let's revive "Stump the Yankee!"

Speaking of the disbanding of the Confederate Army, who wrote the following words:

"...the rank and file of the disbanded army faced their hard situation like the brave men they were, and joined patiently in one of the greatest tasks in the history of the world-the Reconstruction of the South. The story of the self-control of these disbanded men in the situation in which they found themselves when they reached their homes, of their courage, their patience, their effort, forms one of the finest chapters of heroism in the history of the United States."
