<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1295264, member: 39&quot;]We went to Gettysburg last year, went to the Visitor Center and toured the battlefield. Quite moving, also for me (being European and, umm, not all that familiar with US history), and seeing all those monuments also from states that were on the side of the Confederates made me wonder how the reconciliation worked. Well, judging from this topic ... but I digress.</p><p><br /></p><p>The visitor center is not only an interesting museum, by the way. It also has a great &quot;cyclorama&quot;, a nicely restored and reactivated panoramic scenery, partly painted, partly sculpted. We got maps there too, for our self guided car tour across the battlefield area. And in order to make my comment at least a little numismatic, the visitor center was also where I bought some confederate coin replicas. Call them cheap trinkets, but I find them interesting. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
