Another thing, when no one would step up and help homeless Rebels Missouri took the lead in Higginsville. Quantrill is buried there so damn straight we claim him! You can also see the Stars and Bars flying there.

Confederate Memorial State Historic Site commemorates the more than forty thousand Missouri soldiers who fought for the Stars and Bars. In the 1880's veterans, organized as the Ex-Confederate Association of Missouri, came together to relive old times and to consider the plight of the less fortunate among them. In 1889, at their encampment in Higginsville, they incorporated a Confederate Home Association to select a site and seek funding for a home for their brethren. The following year, they purchased a 360 acre farm north of Higginsville.
