An unbelievable collection of Confederatalia - well worthy of its own museum. Although I knew of the museum, I had no idea what its holdings amounted to. Imagine, Marse Lee's Appomattox uniform; 510 original battle flags, . . .

Anyone know of a drive to build such a museum to house this entire collection?

Think of all the other authentic Confederate memorabilia that would suddenly emerge from attics, private collections, and elsewhere if there were built a Confederate Museum with sufficient space to hold this collection with room to expand as the collection grew. What an opportunity!

Too bad the prospects of building such a museum would trigger an instantaneous reaction from so many that it would stop the project - unless a very wealthy, southern benefactor could be found.

If such a benefactor could be found, where might there be a plot of politically correct ground on which to build a real Museum of the Confederacy?
