The highlighted segment of this graphic focuses on the newly formed Confederate Veterans society founded by Confederate Civil War veterans. Patterned after the Union "GAR," (Grand Army of the Republic). In the spirit of unity, the new organization decorated both Union and Confederate veterans who died in the conflict. Newspapers from this post-Civil War era were filled with many stories of atrocities still being committed by pro-Confederate and anti-Union southern citizens.
