#Appomattox, April 9, 1865
A regime that didn't even last as long as the career of Milli Vanilli. #ConfederateSurrenderDay
The rebuilt and greatly refurbished High Bridge across the Appomattox in Virginia. Now a totally awesome trail for people on foot and bike.
Happy confederate surrender day!
My great great great grandfather was captured just before the confederates surrendered. His union cavalry battalion had been ordered to take a bridge across the Appomatox.

They always said the South would rise again. Never imagined it would be like this.

The Lincoln assassination conspirators being prepared for hanging on the gallows at the old Arsenal Penitentiary in Washington D.C. July 1865.
The execution of the Lincoln conspirators should have literally been the last gasp of the confederacy. And we fell short.
May we continue to strive to beat back neo-confederate idolatry and Lost Cause mythology wherever we find it.

My favorite Civil War Memorial: the monument to the Massachusetts 54th on Boston Common.

“Virginia has asked for return of the flag for more than 100 years — and each time Minnesota has refused to return the hard-won symbol of victory …. Virginians even threatened suit to get their flag back. And the answer has been the same: No.”

“Battle Cry of Freedom” was so massively popular in its day that Lincoln’s 1864 reelection bid adopted it as its campaign song and Confederates stole the tune and flipped the lyrics.
#ConfederateSurrenderDay
“3,000 black children carrying armloads of roses and singing the Union marching song John Brown’s Body. Several hundred black women followed with baskets of flowers, wreaths, crosses ... black men marching in cadence, followed by ... Union infantrymen”

Great time for #trump to admit defeat on #tariff mess.
Yep. April 9, 1865.
Should be a national holiday.
In honor of #ConfederateSurrenderDay, tonight I will be watching Glory, the best Civil War film ever made.
A created meme that shows the 45th and 47th President saluting a Confederate flag. In the background is Mt. Rushmore. At the top of the image are the words, "What's the difference between civil war and insurrection?" Along the bottom of the image, the text reads, "About 160 years."
Happy #ConfederateSurrenderDay to everyone who observes it. If you don't, you can suck it! The rebs were defeated. They surrendered. The successionist states rejoined the Union. It was decided 160 yeas ago. Deal with it.
Trump’s tariff initiative was a massive FAILURE!
Keep the talking points simple.
Coincidence? It’s #ConfederateSurrenderDay.
They better never give that flag back. #ConfederateSurrenderDay
in honor of #ConfederateSurrenderDay: "John Brown's Body" performed by the Dutchess Anti-Slavery Singers
#confederatesurrenderday There should be no statues of confederate traitors in the US. They are not heroes. It's a butterfly-to-hurricane effect, the way the South is risen & seized our government to throttle any laws protecting the humanity of ALL citizens & ALL residents of this country.
Ooooo. I'm SO ON BOARD FOR THIS!
#ConfederateSurrenderDay
Happy Confederate Surrender Day!
Fun activitiy idea: put tiny buckle hats on piñatas and beat them until some freedom falls out.
(And give any loser flags you see the Boston treatment, while you’re at it.)

An illustration of the scene at Appomattox courthouse showing general Robert E Lee riding away on his horse after surrender, numerous soldiers from both sides look on in silence.
Happy #ConfederateSurrenderDay to all who celebrate the surrender of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee of his army of racists that—are now back, and seized power.
We spared the racists. Rebuilt the South, but abandoned the freed slaves on their own.
