Confederado

Around festival time[April] down there, the press usually runs a few articles about their history and such.

NYT has some nice photos. Reuters article from earlier.

It's amazing how every ten years or so, somebody rediscovers the Confederados again. I like reading about them, though. They certainly had better timing than those who went to Mexico to fight for Maximilian.

I'm just glad my Confederate ancestors went back, a little deeper, into Texas.

My great-grandfather was one of the Confederate soldiers that fled into Mexico rather than surrender. He eventually ended up living in London.

I went to a Civil War museam, and they had on display an actual Confederate Battle flag used during the war.

Of course, a black woman there whispered "haters" and "raaaycis."

Even my wife was ticked off.
