Hello all, I just helped my mother move into her house in Corinth, Mississippi and I have always dreamt of fishing Lake Pickwick. I have the next 5 days to fish and was wondering where the best bank fishing is at Lake Pickwick and surrounding fisheries.
[The following takes place during the American Civil War.]
>May 1862, Corinth, Mississippi
>As far as the foot soldiers were concerned, the other side could have the damned town. The generals might have gladly given it up too, if not for the railroad junction. Corinth was pestilential. Event he Union’s pitiless William Tecumseh Sherman said the place made him feel “quite unwell.” Sherman’s superior, Henry Halleck, had such a low opinion of it that when he fell ill with a bowel ailment, he sourly named it “the evacuation of Corinth.”

I recently read an interesting book on the Army of Tennessee that brushed over this question.
To my understanding, it was utterly devastated in the Nashville campaign, but limped back to Corinth, MS after retreating across the Tennessee River. A few questions on this:
-
The US Navy had a large force of ironclads and gunboats by which they controlled the interior rivers of the Confederacy by this point in the war - why didn't they force the retreat crossing to be under the guns? Was the river frozen by this point?
-
I thought Corinth had been taken by the Union in 1862 - was it evacuated when Hood's army moved into Northern Alabama the way other Union posts were over on the Tennessee river?
-
Moving from Corinth to North Carolina seems like a pretty difficult proposition - the Union still controlled Northern Georgia as far as I am aware, and the rail network was pretty badly torn up - was there a safe route through the interior of Georgia or rail networks still undestroyed to use?
The November Putsch
On the morning of November 5, 1941, New Orleans was as peaceful as a capital city could be in the midst of a war. Despite the destruction wrought by General MacArthur's bombing campaign, the center of government was relatively intact and men of women of all means made their way through the heart of the city. The weather was cool and mild and that year's hurricanes hadn't touched the American Union State's heartlands. It was, by all reasonable standards, a perfectly pleasant day, until gunfire rang out by around Governor's Mansion and policemen started dropping.
Everyone privy to the plots of William Dudley Pelley died by one means or another in the fall of Birmingham, if not earlier, so exactly what was meant to happen is lost to time, but the events of the day have been exhaustively documented. At 9:15 in the morning, Silvershirts poured out of strategic positions throughout the city, firing on police and soldiers and taking politicians as hostages. Snipers opened fire on the guards around the Governor's mansion while an armored car barreled through the gates. Behind them a mob of Silver Legionnaires charged in. The first wave died as the guards kept their composure and opened fire, keeping strict cohesion. Half the next went down, but the third, coming on the heels of the surviving half that managed to get their shots off, crashed into the guards, overcoming them and forcing a wild, disorderly retreat, while well-armed veterans, wearing the "L" of the Silver Legion piled out of the armored car and filed into the defenseless mansion door. While the Silver Shirt militiamen ran wild through the building, crying out Pelleyite slogans, destroying whatever they found in an orgy of violence and engaging guards and slaughtering servants, the professionals made their way directly towards the President's office, shooting anyone they came across. They knew the layout of the mansion, where guards were stationed, their routines, their skillsets. At 9:32 on the morning of November 5, 1941, Huey Long, President of the American Union State, was shot in his office^(1).
At 10:01 on November 5, 1941 William Dudley Pelley spoke on an emergency frequency to every functioning radio in the American Union State, announcing the formation of the Christian Commonwealth, the final break of White civilization from the dominion of Judeo-Bolshevik financial subterfuge that had bedeviled the United States. He called on all Aryans to rise up and purify the

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
