Hi ,

The American Revolution was in 1776. Daughters of the American

Revolution (DAR) members trace their ancestors back that far.

E. Lee, and the American South were involved in the Civil War,

which was in the 1860s. The war to prove that States' Rights really

aren't what everyone thought they were. Southern part of the U.S. broke

off and started their own country, called the Confederate State of

America. 4 year war was fought to " reunite " the country. But it was

proof positive that States' Rights is truly a false idea. You might

watch Cold Mountain, with Kidman and Jude Law and Zelwegger.

It's about the Civil war. Interesting casting, Australian, and English

person in 2 of the leads. Thought the movie would never end. Literally

lasted almost as long as the Civil War itself!!

First fleet. Sounds like something to be proud of. Punishment back

then was a LOT worse than it is now.

I'm not actually a true blue Aussie I'm afraid. I came from the UK about

9

years ago! I have taken out citizenship though and am a dual citizen. I

have heard of the Daughters of the Revolution though - is it something to

do

with the American South and General E Lee etc?
