I've been to the prison camp reenactment at Point Lookout. The reenactors make the Yankees seem like devils. I'm a Southerner by birth, but the reenactment was so over-the-top that I rolled my eyes.

They did have exhibits that were very educational, though.

I'm all for historical, acurate portrayals of the events that shaped out nation. The Point Lookout actors are pure propoganda, and that's just as bad as those who try to stamp out southern heritage.

Well, I guess I'm in for it.

It's ok friends, they gub'ment is just making sure you know the "correct" history.

See: U.S. Corrects 'Southern Bias' at Civil War Sites

Censored speech at a Southern memorial, locked gates during a ceremony to honor Southern soldiers, no flags allowed to fly at Southern gravesites. All part of the game.
