Just to show you how evenly matched these two teams are, listed ...

The city's political history, our attitudes toward the military, even the local landscape, were all profoundly and permanently changed by the events of 1861-1865. Madison did not welcome the war, or the administration that fought it. And many local heroes of the age did more to hinder than help ...
