Glad I was able to take advantage of the 150th Anniversary events including going to Appomattox Court House before the Confederate reenactors are banned. When I was at Appomattox there was a large contingent of Colored troops reencators and they had no problem with Confederates being there.

Sure.

They won the war.

It might have been different if it was the other way around.

The destruction and/or denial of history is a terrible thing.

This country is wracked with division because of the Taliban Left and young people are going to have a difficult time ever learning about what this country once was.

Imagine if Hillary were POTUS?

Any mention of the “Civil War” or display of Confederate Flags would be grounds for federal prosecution.

Reenactors usually carry both uniforms. We have a local group and they represent a Virginia regiment and a Pennsylvania regiment.

Several years ago Britain issued a set of stamps commemorating the Battle of Britain. Someone objected to the depiction of a swastika on the tail of a German plane. One veteran replied, “It wouldn’t have been much of a show if they hadn’t shown up”.

Confederates in the Attic
A great book about Civil War reenactors.
