Rommel and Cornwallis were not Americans. Rommel's nation declared war on the United States. Cornwallis' nation attempted to prevent the secession of what would become the United States from the British Empire. Robert E. Lee, John Bell Hood, Stonewall Jackson, etc., were Americans who supported a government that wanted to secede from the United States.

Lincoln, though a great foe of the Confederacy, embraced full restoration of the Union with the Confederate states electing their own representatives with the former Confederate soldiers allowed to vote and hold office. He favored limiting the franchise only to those blacks who were well-educated or ex-military. The Radical Republicans were American Jacobins, kindred in spirit to today's liberals and neo-conservatives. They wanted to reconstruct the Southern states, disenfranchising the supporters of the Confederacy from voting, imposing military rule, stealing land for redistribution to ex-slaves, and giving the franchise to illiterate and impoverished ex-slaves. The Southern states would be turned into colonies of the North, ruled by carpetbaggers, assisted by Southern white turncoats and former slaves.

After a few years, the Northern electorate had had enough of the Radical Republicans and turned them out in favor of moderate Republicans and Democrats, who were at the time advocates of limited government in the Jeffersonian tradition. The Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction. Rutherford Hayes agreed to remove the Federal troops remaining in the South. In the ensuing years, the Federal union stabilized, and mutual recognition of the honorable nature of the former foes ensued. By the time of the Spanish American War, Southerners participated fully in the military actions. In fact, Joseph Wheeler, former Confederate general, was appointed a major general for this war and commanded Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. At the 50th and 75th anniversaries of major battles like Gettysburg, veterans of the Union and the Confederacy fraternized as if they were former opponents at the Rose Bowl or the World Series.

The reconciliation of the regions was necessary to enable the United States to be restored to unity, prosperity, and finally status as a world power. Had this nation undergone decades of unending strife and a South as unhappy as Ireland was under British rule, we would not have been able to help stop Hitler and Tojo, nor later taken on the Soviet Union and its satellites. Honoring Confederate generals in their native region by naming military bases, schools, roads, etc., was necessary in bringing the nation back together.

Liberals and RINOs like the governors of South Carolina and Alabama are essentially repealing the reconciliation of the post-Reconstruction period. The Left aims, and is succeeding, in reconstructing, or rather destroying, American society, the Christian religion, and Western civilization, to a degree that would far exceed the dreams of even the most radical Republican of 150 years ago.

LOL Guess so.

(Sorry to yell, Leo & all, but) YES!

Might as well rename everything in the State of W. VA, the ‘great’ kleagle (sp?) Mr. Bird.
