...he was stunned to see two large Confederate flags flying from trucks...emblazoned with the words "The South Shall Rise Again." I'm stunned, too, that people still think it is cool to fly this flag. Our society should bury these flags -- not flaunt them...because the Confederate flag symbolizes racial tyranny to so many... ...This flag doesn't belong on city streets, in videos or in the middle of civil discussion. It belongs in our past -- in museums and in history books -- along with the ideas it represents.

Fair treatment of news stories. If he finds this to be “racial tyrrany”, what does he think of the Wichita massacre, and why didn’t he write about it then?
‘Make fun of NO all you want to. There were alot of good people who lived in NO. A handfull of bad apples will spoil the whole city. Besides it didn’t stop you yanks from making it a big tourist attraction, did it?’
I love New Orleans, always have, always will. And most of the ‘good people’ got the hell out when told by the mayor, then the governor, then the President in effect ‘run for your lives’.
As for ‘didn’t stop you yanks from coming’....hell no it didn’t. Booze flowing freely, women that will flash you for beads, cajun cooking, and great music all in one place?
Of course we came. If you build it, I assure you we will come to play....(chuckle)
Wouldn’t live there because of the crime, however, which you know is unbelievably high.
Too funny! I lived in Ohio until I was eleven, then moved to NC. Told my folks when we hit the mountains of NC I felt like I was home. Daddy just laughed. His people are from Kentucky-before that, his grandma was Cherokee from NC and his granddad Welsh! They migrated north and west, looking for work.
Don’t even get me started on Southern food! There’s nothing like it in the world. And Southern cooks...!
Wow! Just wow! What a perfect description of the Southland that I love so much.
Hey there Non. Now don’t you be calling me a pot — unless, of course, it’s a cast iron pot used for Southern style Chicken and Dumplins’.
That was the beauty of Original Intent, the federal court had no jurisdiction over the States unless it was an issue of already-delegated powers.

In January 1800, the entire House went to the state legislature of Virginia. Both Virginia and Kentucky had petitioned the new federal government that the recent Alien and Sedition Act was unconstitutional. Madison wrote the report James Madison, Report on the Virginia Resolutions
However true, therefore, it may be, that the judicial department is, in all questions submitted to it by the forms of the Constitution, to decide in the last resort, this resort must necessarily be deemed the last in relation to the authorities of the other departments of the government; not in relation to the rights of the parties to the constitutional compact, from which the judicial, as well as the other departments, hold their delegated trusts. On any other hypothesis, the delegation of judicial power would annul the authority delegating it; and the concurrence of this department with the others in usurped powers, might subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful remedy, the very Constitution which all were instituted to preserve.
Oh go ahead, gardengirl, get “started” on Southern food and cooks. I’ll join in.
I’m not saying everyone. I’m talking about the northeast liberals. If you think thats overstated go read some of the left websites, what they say about the south.
And blue might not be the best color either.
[Bonnie Blue Flag and all...]
"Battle Hymn..." also has unfortunate religious overtones in today's society.
Maybe "Yankee Doodle" better captures the times?
On the other hand, there is no reason to be ashamed of General Grant:
the other greatest general who fought in that war.
[PS: To me 'The South Shall Rise Again' simply meant that a nation beaten down by war would rebuild and restore itself despite being occupied by people determined to keep it down]
Good point!
But had the Southern delegates gotten their way and had a slave counted as a whole person then wouldn't the Southern overrepresentation been even worse? In 1860 there were over 3 million slaves in the South. That added over 1.8 million people to the census for the purpose of determining congressional seats. But those 1.8 million extra people had no more use for political representation than a barn or a lamppost. They were considered property and not people. They had no rights, no privledges, no freedoms at all. So please don't get all high and mighty about the North demanding the 3/5ths counting for slaves. It was the South that was using slaves for crass political purposes and in an blatant attempt to grab power. The 3/5ths rule was merely an attempt to keep them from using the slaves as badly as they might have.
Heck, Lincoln had no desire to free the slaves until late in the war. He wanted to save the Union.
So? The Southern leaders had no desire to free the slaves at all. Does that make them worse than Lincoln?
Confederate riffraff? So you knew these people personally?
I still don't get it...
Nah, call it the “Sherman”.
Fried chicken, potato salad, light rolls, string beans fresh from the garden-fried okra-sweet potatoes/slow baked-red eye gravy-nanner pudding-corn on the cob with plenty of butter-fresh tomatoes-country ham-oysters-shrimp-baked flounder with potatoes and bacon and onions-fried cornbread-MY SPOONBREAD.
Need I say more? :)
Not to brag, but I am one of the cooks I mentioned earlier! LOL
Different argument. The 2/3 refers to the non-slave population of the South in 1860, which would have been the sole beneficiaries of an independent Confederacy.
The 3/5 refers to the compromise in the Constitution, where the South wanted the slaves to be counted as citizens, but owned as livestock without the right to elect the representatives they were being counted to apportion. I imagine the South would have objected to the "dilution" of their power, had the North insisted on counting their horses in the census.
Perhaps the young sunni Iraqi man...but even thats a stretch.
Same argument and equally persuasive each time it is used.
Nope, for a variety of reason I won’t detail on a American Civil War thread. Save it for an Iraqi thread.
There's already a vehicle called the Sherman.
