Yeah. However, you can see the original table and chairs Grant and Lee used for the surrender in the Smithsonian up in D.C.

If I remember correctly the uniform that Lee wore for the surrender is also on display up there.

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




Like I've said before: if you're going to revolt, you'd better win.

That's Sherman we know who it is. Dig him up and we'll run him and his bummers back to Hell.

It could be show him the mess the country is now he'd turn around and fight with us.

Sherman should have been tried as a war criminal.

Now we have flags and people that not only support but encourage 10 year old kids to just up and change genders. We all know the history and how bad it was, especially for the South, but that doesn’t excuse the current ripping apart of the moral fabric of this country. Slavery was and is still horrific, just like it’s horrific to mess with the minds of children, all while the people trying to do it hide behind a flag.

You'd lose. Again. It's in your blood.

But have at it.
