Exclusive Civil War Collectibles Offer a Chance to Remember the Confederacy


The fierce and storied battles of the War Between the States have left an indelible mark on the landscape of American history. From April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865 the Confederate States of America (the Confederacy) fought against the U.S. Federal Government (the Union) in a series of clashes still commemorated today.

 

Especially in the South, the ancestors of those who fought in the Civil War hold a certain reverence and esteem for their forefathers who led the charge. Hailing leaders such as Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jeb Stewart, their heritage is celebrated with the enthusiastic call of "Southern Pride." Scouring all of history for every available detail chronicling these legendary battles, Civil War enthusiasts' unfailing interest has created a fervent demand for authentic memorabilia and high quality collectibles.
