I was at Appomattox this past November. It’s beautiful. I bought some Confederate flags before they were “disappeared” and spoke to the tour guides who were lovely. Many British people there - as always - looking around and talking up the Confederacy, lol.

Thank you for saying that. I live only a few miles from Appomattox, and I agree with you about our beautiful Virginia countryside.

Honestly, though, I'll be very glad when this sesquicentennial celebration is over. They're expecting anywhere from 20,000-40,000 people. Appomattox has a population of under 2.500, and the little community I live in is only 1,400. We're all a little freaked out, LOL.
