In 2000, Virginia requested the return of their colours. Then-governor Jesse Ventura replied simply: “Why? I mean, we won.” Repeated calls in 2002, 2003, 2010 and in 2013 for the 150th anniversary have led to the same reply. Minnesota remembers its own. /END

As a lifelong Virginian, born and raised, I say good, let Minnesota keep the colors, they don't represent what Virginia is, they represent traitors to our Union

This was phenomenally told. Growing up in the Deep South, I developed a passionate disinterest in Civil War history — probably because most people who talked a lot about it were cheering for the wrong side. But that means I missed learning about moments like this. Thank you.

I gasped and wept, reading this. Thank you for commemorating this... heart-breaking and glorious battle. You are one hell of a writer.
