The Confederates invaded Pennsylvania yet nobody begrudges monuments to the brave Confederate dead at Gettysburg.

Exactly...and, 150 years is nothing in the grand scheme of the history of the world. People need to realize that.

Just look at the people on the other side of the world, in the desert...they keep grudges for thousands of years. 150 years?! That’s nothing. That was just a few generations back.

150 years later and we see that the current Administration desires to take Pres Lincoln’s mandate of a Federal government to the extreme and get rid of all state’s rights. Just what the Confederates were fighting against. (at least a major issue for them)

Should have won at Gettysburg and then taken Washington. I guarantee you our lives would all be a lot better off now. My family and I stopped by olustee battlefield last year and it is a wonderful little self guided tour through the monuments and getting to see the artifacts. A LOT of the confederate troops were from Georgia. They really put it on those blue bellies that day.
