A lady friend of mine (who I dated briefly) who grew up in Mississippi compared visiting Gettysburg to asking a Jew to visit Auschwitz. My reaction caused her to reel it back in.
Southerners are proud of the courage of the Rebels at Gettysburg, but it is a melancholy pride. No one goes to Gettysburg to celebrate Confederate ascendancy.
If this jerkoff "journalist" understood history, he would know that the American Civil War was a huge tragedy--and that national healing required people to let by-gones be by-gones.
I hope you got some before her stupidity was unleashed.
A a Connecticut Yankee, I am proud of my heritage. I also respect the courage of those that fought on the Rebel side. A tragic war that cost us the best of that generation on both sides.
My visit to Gettysburg brought about such strong sensations...Both my wife and I felt chills and almost could feel the tension in the air as we stood at the memorial of Picketts charge...We could almost smell the battle and feel the troops, hear the gun fire....It was the strangest feeling I have ever had...
I have had others tell me kinda the same feelings come over them at the Gettysburg battlefields...
That was before the SJWs arrived on the scene, with their “white privilege” myth, and other assorted never-ending grudges.
Thank God the Confederacy failed. We’re The United States of America. One nation, one people. Lord only knows how this nation would look today if it had won the war.
