[edit] WPMILHIST Assessment

As I can comment as to the accuracy of the content, I can only give this a B based on length and detail. I am curious as to Prof Walker's comments. LordAmeth 00:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality

I did not put the neutrality tag on this article, but I also question its neutrality. First, some sections make it sound as if the Blalocks were traitors to their communities. I can't speak specifically to their community, but many mountain communities were pro-Union. It's easy to paint North Carolina with a broad brush and declare any North Carolinian that didn't support the Confederacy a traitor but that's not accurate in these area.

Second, there are some mentions of "murder". I'm not sure that's appropriate without a court conviction, especially given that this was truly a brother-against-brother civil war in many of these communities -- not just the Civil War with big armies that many people think of. --A.
