What’s 750,000 or so dead between friends, right? Just a little hiccup. Meanwhile. 159 years later in the same country, 20 year old kids will kill a man for using a plastic straw or saying the wrong pronoun.

Many of them had graduated in the same classes. They had known each other before the war.

They all knew each other and served alongside each other in the US military prior to succession. They all went to West Point together.

After being released from prison Jefferson Davis traveled internationally and then settled in Biloxi, MS. He died in a house on First Street in New Orleans while visiting friends.

Joseph Wheeler returned to the US Army as a general during the Spanish American War. Another ex Confederate general volunteered his services for WWI, but was declined. I used to know his name but can't place him now.

They had statues made of them, which were removed over a century later.
