I take issue with your notion. I don't believe anyone is really trying to fight the Civil War all over again. The battle being fought is essentially whether or not the South can honor it's heritage. Flags are being banned; in some areas Confederate fighters are not allowed to be recognized or honored, memorials are being protested, and there is the ongoing villification of all things southern. The current day fighting of the Civil War, if there that is what you call it, is primarily being done by those who want to banish any semblance of Confederate history.

Curly,

Unfortunately, there are actually two fights going on over the WBTS: One to preserve history (by such groups as the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy) and the other for white supremacy and/or secession now (by the League of the South, Conservative Citizens' Councils, etc.). The damnyankee liberal types are very good at tarring the efforts of the preservations with the brush of the white supremacists. That is certainly not fair and is not the intent of the preservationists, but the nutjob "neo-Confederates" play right into the stereotypes.

Deo Vindice!

The whole "multiculturalism" argument is a sham. There were Irish, Scott, British, French, African, Caribbean, Cherokee, Seminole, Creek, and Jewish who served the Southern forces.

For educated professors, this is a shoddy article. Hummel's highly regarded work is head and shoulders above this piece.
