On To Richmond!

If there was ever any question about our intentions, let them be answered forever. The 50,000 troops at Fort Monroe have been nearly tripled to 121,500 men under arms. They have 15,000 horses and 1,150 wagons to carry them up the peninsula to your "capital" at Richmond. 113 steamships, 188 schooners, and 88 barges have brought them from the Washington area to Virginia, and no one has any plans to take them back.

Gen'l McClellan is a man of decisive action, and we will march straight from this camp to your "capital" and destroy every inch of that rebel stronghold. Any men who try to stop us, if they are farmers or soldiers dressed in grey, will get capped.

This war is over. Give it up.

Fort Monroe

It looks comfy, do it not?

My new home would be Fort Monroe, at the end of the peninsula.

I told you McClellan was a man of action!

To the gates of Richmond!

Brag all you want, we're still comin'!

	feel the fury of the VIRGINIA
	one ship can't break a whole blockade!
	the what?
	Virginia?
	Sorry, no, we'll keep calling it the Merrimack if you please

	I don't care what you want to name it
	it's the Merrimack
	You will refer to the new confederate ship as the virginia
	the congress is in flames btw
	The Minnesota has come up from Fort Monroe, and will show you how we fight!
	great, more reefs
	d'oh!

	maybe we'll jump across like pirates when you try to ran us!
	yeah, old lady, what about her?
	we had that cast in iron and it's lodged in the minnesota's starboard side
	just wait until you see where we put that Calvin pissing sticker
	OK, enough!
	we win, that's it, you can keep your stupid sticker
	You've sunk or grounded 3 of my best ships

	CSS Virginia has left this chat. USS Monitor has joined this chat. CSS Virginia has rejoined this chat.
	good morning, sunshine

	take a look at where we put it - on the back of the USS Monitor!
	we have our own ironclad, bitch!
	that looks like a barrel on top of a raft.
	an iron barrel on an iron raft!
	with two powerful guns
	headed your way!
	I hope it sinks
	Monitor is dancing around the Merrimack like a boxer!
	you are sooooooo dead!
	what did you rip off our design?
	your design? ha!
	we've got our own genius up here in the North
	Mr. John Ericsson from New York City!
	new york city? Bunch of criminals, he probably stole them
	no, not a criminal.
	not a traitor and a rebel, either, for that matter
	unlike SOME people
	what we have done is not criminal
	really?
	treason sounds pretty criminal to me
	attacking the US navy seems pretty criminal to me
	ooo, did you just see that? Monitor got a great hit on your Merrimack
	ummm...we're fine....maybe
	this is supposed to be the invincible ship!
	i guess we have a standoff
	well you can't have it both ways....we don't want to be a part of your union
	let it go....see dr phil
	I'm not done kicking your ass
	ok I'll be right back, I'm just going back down the river there
	don't go anywhere
	oh i'll be right here
	see you tomorrow
