There are no rebels buried at Gettysburg.

Well, not at the National Cemetery, anyway. But a lot of Confederates got buried right where they fell, in usually unmarked graves, and many were never returned to their families.

“There are no rebels buried at Gettysburg”. “Well at least not in the National cemetery”

Research done in the last few decades indicates that at least two Confederates may be mistakenly buried among the Federal dead at Gettysburg. On the battlefield itself and at the numerous field. hospital sites most of the Confederate dead were removed in the late 19th century but many more remain.

The greatest counter-protest of these fools was when about 50 Antifa were standing together and across from them were about 50 woke citizens. The citizens were chanting..

"YOU'RE FAGS! GO HOME! YOU'VE GOT LOW TESTOSTERONE!"

over and over...

It was hilarious.

To be honest, I couldn’t remember so I searched a bit to be sure. Apparently there were several thousand confederate solders hastily buried onsite but most of them were moved to other, more organized cemeteries.

“The southern dead were removed to cemeteries in North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia between 1871 and 1873. Most of the Confederate dead were interred at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia in a special section set aside specifically for the casualties of Gettysburg.” - National Park service

While in Springfield, MO at the Nat’l cemetery where both Union and Confederate soldiers are buried, I always paid my respects to one site. Sixteen Pennsylvania unknown soldiers are buried under one stone.
