Once again, thank you for a very informative review of Appomattox Court house and the McClain house.

Those are parole slips, not technically pardons. They were required to sit out of the war until properly exchanged, which of course, never occurred.

[@ProjectPast1565]

You’re correct. I misspoke. Thanks for watching!

@@ProjectPast1565 No problem - love how your videos are developing over time.

@michaelhoffman5348 I try to get better with each video. Some of my earlier videos like this one make me cringe. But I’m glad I’m learning and growing. Love learning new things.
