“Personally I don’t have a problem with them as an organization or the Confederate flag.”
That’s mighty white of you.

You shouldn’t. They lost and there were actually free blacks who fought for the South. The fact is, the worldview of Slavery was universal and supported still in Africa and Islam and most Eastern countries-—so why apologize for the worldview which originated in other countries as if it was a “Confederate” idea. They inherited it-—like all Traditions.
The need to learn TRUE history is essential for intellectual advancement. The idea about eliminating the Truth-—hiding history is Marxism and so that they can reinvent “history” and make an artificial “utopia” so they can control every single idea (enslave) a person is allowed to have.
That enslavement——needs the elimination of all human history and the idea of Christianity (Individual God-Given Rights) for the State to make a total slave out of little Johnny. American civilization has to be twisted—changed and erased in the minds for future NWO. Only America promoted the concept of Individualism (instead of collective mindset).
When we glorify the War and those brilliant soldiers in the South-—we demonize the evil of Slavery, not the virtues of Courage and Perseverence which is essential to Life-—that is essential that we LEARN what is EVIL, only by understanding history. No person is perfect. ALL people are sinners. All people can be torn down which is dangerous to a Nation-—to tear down the geniuses of the Nation. It destroys patriotism and unity.
Discerning Good and Evil is Wisdom (Cicero).
Erase history-—and we will repeat all the mistakes made, over and over. The Leftists want us ALL to be slaves-—not just like the South who had a few slaves. Most people in the South, never had slaves and even Blacks owned slaves-—so this trying to demonize ONE group and ONE area—is really nothing but Marxism-—and EVIL. Marxism is always about demonizing groups to destroy unity in a country so it collapses.
They might want to bring a lawnmower to the Chattanooga Confederate Cemetery. It looks like crap compared to the National Cemetery there.
No problem what so ever . I do have problem with those who yet again are offended over something which is part of the history
It’s history, a history with which the country had made peace to the point of reunions of Union and Confederate soldiers, who shook hands. Now, that history has fallen into official disfavor to the point of attempts to eradicate it. For those who agree, stop and think for a minute. If entire swathes of national history can be essentially erased, what’s next? Whether you agree or disagree with groups and individuals memorializing the former Confederacy, it’s a dangerous precedent.
This article doesn’t really get into the “history” or “heritage” these particular individuals are supposedly preserving. Most of the time it is the mythology created by the former Confederate politicians after they lost the war to save face, not actual history. At the time of the secession and prior to the war, there is absolutely no ambiguity that the core reason for the secession was slavery and white supremacist theory. The resolutions of secession state this, and what is dubbed “The Cornerstone Speech” given by the Confederate Vice President outlining the core principles of the Confederacy leaves little to the imagination. However, it is indeed true that most, if not all, of those proclaiming “confederate heritage” are not motivated by racism and are not the least bit racist - they just believe the mythology of the Confederacy created after the war was over.
My husband and son are members of SCV. My great great grandfather was a Confederate soldier at Shiloh. I grew up with my parents taking me to Shiloh Park. I’m 69. When I was a child, the Bloody Pond was a lot darker than it has been in later years when I’ve gone there. In my grandpa’s words, Shiloh was a “mess”, so much so that they couldn’t even tell if or when they hit someone. A bloody ground.
since black leaders have no history worth damn, they don’t comprehend history
stone age has no history and no future
Keep the history, just don’t glorify these slaver DemoRATS by “honoring” them with structures named after them.
