You may have the impression that the Civil War ended sometime around 1865, after the Confederate armies stacked their weapons, the soldiers returned to their homes, and the Southern states were re-admitted back into the Union. It would be entirely reasonable to think that, but in some areas of the Georgia Capitol it would also be a big mistake. Today, more than 150 years after Robert E. Lee worked out surrender terms with U.S. Grant at Appomattox, battles continue to rage between some of our state legislators over the late unpleasantness and how it should be remembered.
