The annual Remembrance Day parade is NOT A CONFEDERATE PARADE. The pareade was started by the Allied Orders of the Grand Army of the Republic and has continued to be under the purview of the Sons of UNION Veterans of the Civil War and the other Allied Orders. While Confederate troops are invited to participate as guest units in the annual Rembrance Day Parade, it is in no way a CONFEDERATE parade.

@MrKdh1949 Yes I know, this is Confederate half.

When was this parade? I'm in Gettysburg several times a year. I would have loved to have seen this. I also do re-enacting Union side, because my ancestoral grandfather was with the 39th N.Y. But I love the South and it's people. And partying with the confederate re-enactors is hillirious! I love 'em! There's no hatered, animosity or racial stupidity. We're all a band of brothers honoring our fallen ancestors North and South. And we should never forget them. Let me know when the next parade is.

@gabriel19551 This was Nov 21st last year. The next parade is actually actually this saturday in gettysburg lol. You might be able to land a hotel room still but people usually start getting tonight actually. I not able to go this year, but its the annual Remembrance Day Weekend events in Gettysburg.

Civil War Re-enactors,

..keep doin' your thing.

Ignore the haters & dunces who always want to politicize Civil War history..

You are doing America a service by preserving & presenting our history in an entertaining & vibrant way (my opinion)

ps- I had an ancestor who fought in the Union Army (out of Eastern PA), but I still have love for the Confederate re-enactors and their commitment to Southern History.

Calling sherman a fiend and a filthy scoundrel is an understatement. He is probably one of the most despicable, monstrous psychopaths to ever walk the face of the earth. He was a mass murderer who wasn't particular who he killed (whether it was Confederate soldiers, southern civilians, or American Indians) as long as they bled. I truly believe that if there were any justice in this world, he would have been drawn and quartered, and the remains burned and scattered.

@nonantianarchist Sherman was a good man that helped bring an end to a horrible war.Grant and Lee killed far more people on the battlefield than Sherman did on the march. The only reason the South doesn't like him is because he marched through your country and made you look like impotent idiots who couldn't defend their own homes

@InTheEndWasRight

It may well be the "Confederate half" of the parade, but that doesn't make it the "Confederate Remembrance Day" Parade. It was, truth be told, begun to commemorate Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by remnants of the GAR and its ancestor groups. Originally it was GAR Remembrance Day. Confederates are invited guests but its not their parade.
