A day to celebrate. And to think there are still treasonous pieces of shite flying that rebellious flag. Spitting in the face of all who have died for the AMERICAN flag.

If his arse would have just stayed in Virginia and fought a defensive war we would all be spending $100 bills with Hank Williams on them

Guess the American colonists were also traitorous swine for defending their land and country from British tyranny?

America? You mean the country that has slavery? The American government makes their slaves pay tribute every April 14th

Appomattox Courthouse is a cool place to visit, if you are in the area. The modern town of Appomattox is a few miles away and this little village fell into disuse after the war. The buildings have now been restored and they look like it did back in 1865. Union officers made off with the furnishings as souvenirs, so little of that is original. I'm sure Mr. McClean appreciated that.

Fun fact: In 1861 he lived in Manassas Junction. He moved to Appomattox to get away from the war.

We've been subjugated ever since. A very sad day for my people.
