They even made their own monopoly money
Another nail in revisionist Southern heritage, as U.S. District Judge Marvin Garbis ruled last week that Maryland can phase out license plates which
display the Confederate flag.
The state Motor Vehicle Administration will contact Sons of Confederate Veterans plate owners on the recall. Maryland follows Virginia in pulling the specialty flag plates.
Maryland attempted a recall in the 1990s. The effort was thwarted when a U.S. District Court ruled the tags were constitutionally protected as free speech.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that messages on license plates were a form of government speech and could be rejected by states. Before the ruling, nine states offered Sons of Confederate Veterans license plates.
In unrelated news—on April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee wrote
this letter to Ulysses S. Grant:
Lieut. Gen. U. S. GRANT:
I have received your letter of this date containing the terms of surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia as proposed by you. As they are substantially the same as those expressed in your letter of the 8th instant, they are accepted. I will proceed to designate the proper officers to carry the stipulations into effect.
R. E. LEE,
General.
