George Washington Tweeting? by eudora

George Washington Tweeting?

We have a lot of Civil War reenactments in Louisiana, but not many Revolutionary War ones. This one stretched the historic truth a bit, which I only learned after Googling the battle. It commemorated the surrender in 1779 of a British fort in Baton Rouge to Spanish troops, supported by local militia. Almost certainly, none was dressed like these men, but it was a fun event anyway, attended by several DAR and SAR chapters, other historic groups AND the Southern University (an historically black university) marching band, sometimes called The Human Jukebox.
Can you imagine all the soldiers sending selfies home to their girl friends and families?! Fun shot!
