Untrue! It makes for a great battle trophy for us Yankees! "And this, Cletus, was the last thing your great x3 grandfather carried into battle when my great x4 grandfather cut his traitor ass down"

One of my favorite moments in politics was when Virginia tried to get Minnesota to return their blood soaked civil war flag that was taken as a trophy.

Jesse Ventura put it perfectly: “Why? We won.”
