Rebel





My husband is a Rebel. Confederate Rebel to be exact. This year we broke down and got him a uniform. Fully wool... fully hot. Despite the hot Leo was super excited. He had the option of buying some pants that he could switch between Confederate and Union and he was admittedly against it. Confederate all the way. You'd have to ask Leo all the reasons... certainly not because he was for slavery... but for all the other reasons that are often overlooked when studying the Civil War and it's many intricacies. I'm sure one of these years we will be participating in the reenacting. It would certainly be a great thing to expose your children too. What an experience, to live out history and learn rather than sit in front of a video game!

I think this dashing reb needs a dignified lady by his side. We will have to see what we can do about that!
