I saw on PBS once (I think it was the Burns Civil War series) newsreel footage of Civil War vets at reunions and on parades from the 1930’s. One was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1938 where Franklin D. Roosevelt presided. Well the handful of Confederate veterans from Pickett’s Charge once more “attacked ” Seminary Ridge to be greatd with handshakes by their former foes. It was very moving.
