When I was in Virginia, we stopped at the Historic Tredegar, which is a pretty cool Civil War Museum. They had a bunch of really cool things on the inside, like different displays of cannons, munitions, and even some of the old tools that the hospitals used for the injured soldiers.

But what I thought was really cool was the outside of the building itself. It is an old industrial building where the majority of the Confederate's artillery was made. This factory also made some of the first iron plating that was used on the Confederate warships.

It is crazy to me that there are places here in the US where munitions and stuff was made that was used to kill other Americans. War sucks. Hopefully one day we can live in a world where people can get along. The people of the world just want to live in peace, but the governments are the ones that turn humans against each other.
