Christmas photos from the Stonewall Brigade
I’m pretty late on this, but it’s still cool to see. Back in December, the Stonewall Brigade SCV (the organization that is in charge of Lee-Jackson Park) participated in two Christmas parades. One took palace in Fairfield, Virginia (which you can see here), and the other took place in Goshen, Virginia (which you can see here).
Great quote by Albert Taylor Bledsoe
“[I]f the right of secession be denied … and the denial enforced by the sword of coercion; the nature of the polity is changed, and freedom is at an end. It is no longer a government by consent, but a government of force. Conquest is substituted for compact, and the dream of liberty is over.”
– Albert Taylor Bledsoe
