For 18yrs I had a part time job at a gun shop, the owners of the place were really into collecting Civil War stuff, they had enough stuff that they could open a pretty decent sized museum. Ted is a walking encyclopedia of Civil War knowledge, I guess some of it wore off on me and stuck.

While I can understand the desire to be 'politically correct' in today's society, I think HDF is making a mistake by dropping sales of Confederate Flag patches. According to a story in the local newspaper, gift shops here are having a 'run' on Confederate items they sell.
This is despite having raised the prices on these items.

I was taught in school that the South did not surrender. At Appomattox, Grant cowardly stole Robert E. Lee's sword. Gen. Lee was such a true southern gentleman that he refused to embarrass Gen. Grant by demanding its' return.

Riding Harleys and Indians has always had sort of been looked upon us as rebel type character. The confederate flag has gone along with that image...
The flag is called the " Southern Cross", Like guns the flags don't kill it's the people who are responsible...
You can see the KKK marching with the American Flag also does that mean we are going to have to stop displaying it also?
Living across the river from Natchez Mississippi all the big plantations, and plantation homes were owned by rich Land owners out of the Northeast. Thus these homes were not burned by the invading Northern troops.
I am so dissappointed in HDF being liberals and following the liberal political correctness thinking that the liberals are trying to shove down our throats.
