Well said. I grew up in MS so I know what you mean. Many of my greatgrandfathers and 1 gggrandfather fought in that war. One was so old that he was unable to fight so he made shoes for the soldiers. He lived to be about 93. We are very proud of our heritage.
Thanks MamaB, I had eight ancestors that I know of who fought for the South, 4 lived and 4 died.
