The Word Will Know: Lost Cause...Spring Breat 2012

Me at Tredegar Iron Works

This past Spring Break I went to Richmond, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown in Virginia. Aside from all of the wonderful history, there was a lingering question in Richmond...has the Lost Cause died out? The answer is..NO!! Lost Cause is still alive and well in Richmond. I have been to places like Gettysburg before and no other battlefield had such a bias then the ones in Richmond. It seemed like the only places that were preserved were places where Confederates had won. It was crazy, even at Gettysburg they tell of the days that the Confederates won and Gettysburg is in the North! Not only were there Battlefields, but also a prison camp (Belle Isle) and the Museum of the Confederacy...walk in look up and then tell me Lost Cause is not a real thing! Cold Harbor was there too, all big and open, go back 150 years and you would have seen dead people all over the place! Belle Isle was the worst, the men there looked like Holocaust victims (it's these prison camps that helped Hitler get his idea for his death camps). The South just needs to grow up and accept defeat! The North won, it's time to move on! (That's just how I feel about it!)
