Thanks for the photo. I had a friend who was a reenactor. Didn’t mean he supported slavery or wanted a big federal government - depending on what side he was on in a given reenactment!
My great-grandfather fought for the North (Indiana). He named one of his sons after Robert E Lee. Heck, two generations later, I was named after him! I find much to admire about Nathan Bedford Forrest without excusing slave trading, his violent temper, etc. I also find much to admire in Gen Sherman. Yegads!
Thinking people can admire folks without wanting to imitate everything about them. Soldiers on both sides often wrote with admiration about the courage of the other side. Or specific generals, for specific reasons.
This sort of anti-history bigotry pushed by anti-American leftist assholes pisses me off. “Mississippi history at its best!” - works for me. And it would have worked for my great-grandfather, even though he fought for the North for 4 years...then came home and, as I said, named his next son “Robert Lee”!
