[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mosby was a pretty interesting fellow from a historical standpoint—after the civil war he condemned the confederacy and became a staunch supporter of the US, campaigned for Grant, appointed a diplomat, only to have his house burned down by Confederate arsonists who felt betrayed by his change of heart. [/quote] His redemption story is not why the area was named after him. His role in the confederacy with his Rangers is why the neighborhood and school were named after him, as was a whites only academy that existed from 1959-1969 to resist integration. [/quote]
