UA was most certainly established in 1820.

Ulysses S. Grant had a lot to say in the matter (18th President).
Who was the 17th, my baws.

Nope.
The region was not open until 1832.
Get over yourselves.

Typical, uneducated T-Shirt fans.
Try paying $65,000 for a degree, and then talk about a subject of importance.
This is why your University has "slipped" so far recently.
Trash University.

The Civil War took place from 1861, through 1865, and the campus was burned down five days before the end of the war, making it a truly cruel act. LINK /
"As Union troops began torching the mansion, Louisa Frances Garland, the wife of then-UA president Landon Garland, stopped them.
She didn’t shoot them, and she didn’t incapacitate them by knocking them upside the head with a candlestick. She just talked with them, and they put the fire out.

Houghtaling directs during a dress rehearsal.
When Dr. Paul Houghtaling, director of UA’s Opera Theatre, first heard of Louisa Garland’s exploits concerning the mansion, he was fascinated, and the wheels in his operatic mind began to turn.
“It’s so theatrical to think about a woman, while her husband was off fighting with the Confederate army, saying to the Union soldiers, ‘don’t you burn down this house,’” Houghtaling says. ‘You’ve burned down the campus and destroyed everything in your path, but don’t burn this house. This is where I raised my family. This is where I raised my children.’”
“And, they listened to her. How incredible is it that this woman was able to use the right words to ask them to spare this house? Apparently she asked them to bring the furniture back in the house, and they did so. … It seems so theatrical, like ‘Gone with the Wind.’”

Very false, unfortunately.
It didn't happen.
Silly Auburn grad with little appreciation for the liberal arts. See the link I provided above. It did happen. And you are a jerk.

There was no way of knowing that. The Confederate govt had shown great determination to fight to the end, Jefferson Davis did not want to surrender; Lee and Johbnston took that upon themselves. The slave owning class maintained the delusion that they could protect their "property" by fighting a guerrilla war and turning Northern public opinion against the war by prolonging it.

The North had a slave owning class too, before and DURING the war. Lincoln promised to support the Corwin Amendment, which would have kept slavery forever legal in the South. He did not start the war to free one slave and you know it. And the South never showed any intent to invade the North and acquire more territory. It just wanted to be left alone. The EP did not free one Northern slave.

True, but the school did not open its doors till 1832. But not sure why you guys are arguing over these dates, as the CW took place years later.

Old people exaggerate when it comes to riding horses and saving an actual City.
You were shown to be an ignorant person or a liar, so you have shifted to arguing about whether the president's wife single handedly saved her home, one of the three or four buildings that were not destroyed. This is so absurd. When on UA's campus, you can see the outlines of the original campus rotunda that was destroyed. You can see "the Mound" where much of the material was dumped after being burned down. UA's campus was designed to resemble UVA. It no longer resembles UVA cause it was burned down.

My sincere condolences.
Where do I send the floral arrangements for you and your family's academic suicide?

The land trust in Mobile County could use a jolt.

Yeah let's just forget about the planters' support for the Mexican war, filibustering in Cuba and elsewhere, bleeding Kansas, etc. If they just wanted to be left alone, they should've been fine with Lincoln, whose platform was to contain slavery where it already existed; instead they didn't even allow him to be on the ballot in Southern states. They pushed their luck and rolled snake eyes, just like Rhett Butler predicted. Actually many large slave owners opposed secession bc they knew it was too risky

Weird flex considering you went to Auburn. Atlanta kid who couldn't get into UGA?
Regardless, this is quite a strange and oddly timed melt.
