I cried the day they lowered the Confederate Flagg in SC and now in Ga. 51, 000. died at Gettysburg.(same as Vietnam). 12 family members died on the Confederate side. Over 253,000. died in the Civil war from both sides. Brother against brother, an anglo-war in America. Yet , it is played down do to "Political correctness".
