Probably a few of those men died there then too.

@TThorne931 If the Confederacy was evil so was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence and George Washington who lead the fight. They fought for the same ideals. The South paid 80% of the taxes and consisted of 30% of the US population. Lincoln instituted the Morrill tariff which increased taxes (the South controlled all but three major US ports) from 20% to 47%. It would've killed the South, they had no choice but to secede and Lincoln murdered them for it.

@33VaInf You should be proud. I bet he fought valiantly. I have great great great uncle who fought there too. Glad as Americans we can bind our wounds and be friends North and South again. Unlike other countries who fignt on and on each generation. This in one of many things that makes USA great!

Makes me think of my ancestor who fought at Gettysburg in the 33rd VA Infantry. He was only 20 during the battle, and am so proud to be a decendant. :)
