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 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.

Minnesota has a Confederate symbol — and it is going to keep it Minnesota has a Confederate symbol in its possession. It has long caused controversy. And Minnesota is not moving it.

“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
Battle Cry of Freedom YouTube video by OldMusicFan83

“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.

The Untold Story Of Memorial Day: Former Slaves Honoring The Dead The African-American history of the federal holiday has been nearly wiped from public memory.

“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”

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.

#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.

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.)

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.
