Absolutely Beautiful. Do yourself a favor and take some time to go see the Shenandoah valley.

1978 - U.S. President Carter signed a bill that restored full U.S. citizenship rights to Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
Interesting, I didnt know he had been without them all that time.

I doubt something like this would fly today given the rise of political correctness. I'm not totally sure Carter was correct to do this. Davis resisted until the last....I doubt he would have even approved of what Carter did.

Oct 19 1864 my G-grandfather was wounded at Cedar Creek Va. He was regimental ensign(flagbearer) for the 51st Ga Regiment. He survived with a crippled arm. I live on his farm.
