      It means, tune on cnbc at 3 am and watch live streaming from house of reps and you have some blow hard giving a passionate speech to an empty house, all so he can send the clip home

      they were probably 75th in importance to winning the war

      and they were heros who we all owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to...

              No dude, they were not 75th in importance. The Battle of Gettysburg is known by ALL, to be the turning point in the war. The Union was LOSING the war going into the battle, and they were losing the battle of Gettysburg until the Minnesota 1st sacrificed themselves, their lives, by charging into the oncoming hoards of Rebel troops, slowing down their charge long enough for all the other retreating units of Union soldiers to regather themselves, turn around and follow the Minnesota First's example, and hence the Battle of Gettysburg was won, and hence the Civil War was won.


              They wrote songs about the Minnesota First and its courageous efforts in the Battle of Gettysburg. 75th my ***, much closer to 1st. They may not have contributed the most soldiers to the war overall, but the ones that Minnesota did contribute, made a very significant contribution.

                  Without the sacrifice of the 1st Minnesota, the Confederates would have taken the high ground on Cemetary Hill, and the outcome of Getysburg would have likely been very different. The 1st Minnesota took over 80% casualties while holding off the confederate advance as they were outnumbered 5-to-1. They filled a big hole in the Union's defensive line and held out until reinforcements arrived.

                  If the Union had lost at Getysburg, there was nothing between Lee's army and Washington DC. Not to mention, with a decisive victory in the North, the Confederates would have likely received the aid from Europe they were lookong for.

                  I'd say their regiment's sacrifice was a pretty significant factor in the battle, and thus the war.

                      That's Wisconsin, or California.

                      Wouldn't have won two Olympic Golds in hockey without MN, that's for sure
