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.
Except that it only became a “confederate idea” when they broke away from the union and went to war against their own neighbors in order to perpetuate the Peculiar Institution.
That said, I can honor the memory of the soldier without endorsing or condoning the war they waged against the United States.
