reconstruction was pretty rough yeah
basically the opposite of reconstruction
And northern victory set a tone of federal supremacy that never died
and the annihilation of state pride
yeah
State power was basically irrelevant if the big bad federals didn't like what ever they were doing
well I might be directly related to a yankee martyr I'm still proud of being Virginian, and I'm about to begin reenacting for the 59th Virginia Infantry Regiment
nice
Virginia uber alles in der welt
I met them today at the Battle of Chaffin's Farm and they want to make me flag-bearer
for their event in November
That is *epic*
ew no Nazis
but I'll proudly march with that battle flag in front of them
Are you implying that Virginia is not above all others in the world?
sadly not today
may I remind you of
ralph northam
Yankee propaganda and lies
and tim kaine
Them libtards can't ruin this state
he scares me
tim kaine
I seriously think
something is off
Most big shot democrats are like that
but yeah the reenacting, I'm really excited
the unit says I'm supposed to be older before taking a musket out to field
Sounds pretty cool
but this next event is small enough for no one to notice my age
Young boys fought too
but the great thing about flag-bearer is I don't have to buy a $1000 rifle
well I'm almost 16 so yeah at my age I would've been shooting
but everyone else in the regiment is obviously older so it would look best for me to be flag-bearer
*another* great thing is I love studying and collecting flags
Flags are cool
so the regiment captain was like "yeah you'd only have to flag-bearer for a little bit, don't worry"
but I was more excited about that than shooting
more people need to get into reenacting. The events are slowly losing numbers, and apparently new recruits are scared away by being accused of racism
anyone who loves history should spend like $150 of basic equipment and at least try it out, most regiments supply you with a borrowed gun and other items
