As a Southerner and native of the Shenandoah Valley, I offer reflections on the Civil War-era South… and sometimes a little more. But… expect the unexpected

Her last hours over Sumter…
The garrison flag, seen below, was actually replaced by the storm flag a few days prior to the bombardment. Nonetheless, it flew in defiance in the days leading up to the bombardment. Enjoy… *Image from the National Park Service’s site, Symbols of Honor.
Moving beyond the factoids of the Civil War
February 7, 2011 by Robert Moore
I look for them everyday… factoids that pop-up on Twitter. There are a number of folks who post daily, providing us with blow-by-blow details about events as they happened 150 years ago. Some of these folks provide factoids such as “so-and-so (someone significant in the Civil War) was born this day”, or “this happened today”… […]
Virginia newspapers “doing harm” to sentiments of disunion
February 4, 2011 by Robert Moore
As Ron Baumgarten pointed out in his post the other day over at “All Not So Quiet on the Potomac”, today marks the 150th anniversary of Virginians voting for delegates to the Virginia Convention of 1861.

Is it, therefore, to be assumed that Confederate symbology […]
Southern Unionists as traitors to the Confederacy?

Recently, I read something about somebody portraying Gen. George H. Thomas at living histories and some people referring to him as a traitor to his own people. Really, I find that a very odd statement to make regarding people of the South who preferred to remain loyal to the United States. While it’s true that […]
Anxious for secesh; not so anxious to fight
April 11, 2008 by Robert Moore
No, it wasn’t a standard feeling of those who voted for “secesh,” but I do think it’s worth mentioning (especially in the wake of the quick analysis of the referendum numbers) that some who were anxious for secession and likely voted for it in the referendum, weren’t so eager to defend the very “cause” that […]
