[A Statement on the Confederacy]
At Grimrose Manor, we delve into the macabre, spooky, dark, and mysterious aspects of life, which sometimes leads us to explore the haunted history of the Civil War, battlefield sites, and Confederate cemeteries. These places hold a somber fascination, reflecting the profound and often tragic impact of war.
However, we need to clarify our position: While we are based in the South and cover these topics due to their dark nature, we in no way endorse war or the causes for which the Confederate States of America fought. We approach these subjects with a commitment to historical accuracy and respect for the lives lost, but we do not align with the sentiment expressed in many Confederate monuments, such as:
"The men were right who wore the gray, and right can never die.
The manner of their death was the crowning glory of their lives. 1861-1865
God of our fathers, help us to preserve for our children the priceless treasure of the true story of the Confederate soldier."
At Grimrose Manor, we specifically disagree with this viewpoint. Our goal is to explore history with a critical eye, understanding the full context and the consequences of these events. We believe it is crucial to remember and learn from the past while acknowledging the complex and often painful realities it holds.
Thank you for joining us on this journey through the shadows of history.
