Sen. Dodd Calls for the Removal of the Confederate Flag from South Carolina's Statehouse Grounds

(Greenville-AP) January 14, 2007 - US Senator Christopher Dodd calls Sunday for the removal of the Confederate flag that flies at the South Carolina Statehouse. The Connecticut Democrat was attending a Martin Luther King Junior memorial event at a Greenville church Sunday night.

He says black and white young people from South Carolina are fighting under one flag in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dodd says the Confederate flag belongs in a museum.

Dodd will be at the King Day at the Dome rally at the Statehouse Monday. The event was started six years ago as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People launched economic sanctions against South Carolina to force the flag from the Capitol dome.

It was moved from there and put out front at the Confederate Soldier Monument on Statehouse grounds.

Perhaps few grasp it...but this is all starting to appear like 1850 again...with various Northern politicians playing out their act for points...and Southern politicans who perform the same act against the North.

I call on Senator Dodd to learn how to correctly pronounce the names of our top generals in Iraq. Gen Petra - us. NOT.

fyi, the war between the DAMNyankees & the "good 'ole rebs" continues, absent gunfire.

the war will go on until:

1. the DYs learn to stay "up there" & keep their BIG mouths shut and/or

2. until dixie is forever FREE of them.

Okay my fellow Confederates, who still get misty eyed when you hear Dixie played... I am in Israel and am having a hard time finding out when Virginia Pelham Stuart was born. (The library in Tel Aviv has not one book on JEB Stuart). I have searched the Internet and the census reports. I have asked the Stuart-Mosby society and have come up empty handed.

If anyone call tell me when JEB Stuart's youngest daughter was born, I will be very grateful.

Thank you!

He has no chance of the Presidency and just trying to get his name in the papers. Leave South Carolina alone and deal with your own state.

Thank you so much. But, that is not the Virginia Pelham Stuart that I need. She would have been born in either 1862 or 1863 (for she was born during the War)... to Jeb Stuart and Flora Cooke Stuart.

I am very grateful for your help though...please know that.

You can find year of birth and death (1863-1898) for her via various Waller family genealogies.

I am not convinced that preserving the union at all costs as was done by Lincoln was the right thing to do.

Not only did the act of preservation by force fly against the founders feelings for freedom as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the methods used have resulted in race problems and regional resentment to this day.

Actually that info is for JEB Stuart's daughter Virginia, I was able to verify the date of death from another source but the birth date is obviously wrong. I do not know if the entire birth date is wrong or just the year.

I grew up about 30 miles southeast of Laurel Hill. The name is well known and revered in those parts. You're very welcome.

He is making noise so that people outside of CT will hear his name and vote him in as president. That is a horrible thought.

The key to the Internet is knowing where to look!

You found her!

She died so young, just like her father and her older sister Flora.

I know I have said it before. But thank you for your help. You don't know how happy you have made me.
