Continuing on this Confederacy craze, I visited the mecca of all meccas this past weekend . . . Raleigh, North Carolina seems like a Yankee fort when compared to . . . Richmond, Virginia.
As y’all know, Richmond served as the capital city of the Confederacy. To keep this history alive, the Museum of the Confederacy was built in 1896. My fraternity brother V and I visited the Museum and the White House of the Confederacy, the residency of President Jefferson Davis. After that, we visited Hollywood Cemetery, “the Arlington of the South.”
According to our White House tour guide, since I visited both the residency and final resting place of President Jefferson Davis, I have the right to identify as an honorary Virginian and a Southerner-in-Training. If I live in the South for 25 years, I get to drop the “in-Training” part.
Start the clock.
