145 years ago, the Army of Northern of Northern Virginia was in the process of being paroled after Lee surrendered to Grant on April 9. Tomorrow the 12th the is anniversary of the formal surrender parade, although some modern historians question whether it was as romantic a ceremony as Chamberlain described it decades later. There was a great effort after the war to erase sectional feeling and make a truly unified nation. It is a crime when present-day nitwits like Rick Perry and similar slimebags bring up secession, even jokingly.
