on antique roadshow the Confederate memorabilia always goes for ten times the union crap. who wants that union filth?
Yo..right on dude.
You and Mr. Dickey seem to have a lot in common.
We, who are proud of our Southern heritage, are glad to have anything connected to our ancestors. Genealogy is one of my hobbies and nearly every family came to this land in the South. I discovered that many different families traveled to the different areas generations before getting married. Two families came over on the Mayflower and we have Cherokee ancestors. They make up who we are today. I do have relatives who do not want to say anything about our Indian ancestors and I do not understand that. Some ancestors were offered land in the Indian Territory/OK but did not accept it. I sometimes wonder how my life would have been different if they had accepted it.
there's a lot more union stuff around, hence the lower price...
This is true. From what I have seen at most military antique and memorabilia shows, Confederate military items generally sell at higher prices than Union military items. But explain why then, at these type of shows, Nazi items generally sell for higher prices than military items of Soviet, British, or American origin.
