I wish I could get my mom to see it that way.

She's not at all racist or into slavery, but she is a fan of the generals of the confederacy. Especially Mosby and Lee.

I mean there's nothing wrong with being interested in these figures after all my dad is a Jack the Ripper buff, and personally I have a historical fascination with John Wilkes Booth. I just wish my mom would acknowledge that bad sides to Lee and Mosby instead of seeing them as these knights of the round table types.

Oh well what can you do?
