Just in the interest of "A House Divided" there is also a Union kilt to commemorate the boys in blue like my great great grandfathers who took on John Hunt Morgan during his ride through Ohio, and Jubal Early's raid on Washington D.C. and fought in the Tennessee campaigns.

My middle name is Grant after my father who got it after his great uncle who was the first born son after great great grandfather got home from the war. Yet I was born in Alabama. So have perspective on both sides of these sad times and have lived over ten years of my adult life in the South.

I've had an intense interest in the conflict since boyhood. Today, as an olde man I retain my interest but have more a sadness for the losses of both sides rather than choosing one side or the other.

Because of my ancestry and my great grandfathers' service, I would probably buy the Union tartan kilt before the Confederate tartan kilt.

Or, maybe like that old Bob Hope movie someone needs to make a kilt with one side the Union tartan and the other side the Confederate tartan...
