Given that the entirety of CW sites has been forced by gov’t fiat to renovate their visitor centers to reflect how slavery was all everything was about (poor, poor blacks), it wouldn’t surprise me if they go on to glory in tearing down any monuments to southern men. Yes, that gigantic Gettysburg VC was built not long ago (to my shock last year, destroying the old VC with its electric map) on a huge swath of farmland complete with whoa-is-me apologies about slavery, the only possible reason for all the bloodshed! (It’s also happened at Bull Run and Sharpsburg.)

Wow that is depressing. Just bulldoze the whole place. We are done. It is 1984.

Saying the Civil War was fought about slavery is equivalent to saying the Revolutionary War was fought about tea; it discredits those who fought for both sides. Given the numerous letters from soldiers from both sides, it is clear that very few gave a damned about slavery or blacks in general... men go to war for honor, duty, to defend their kin and clan and for the right to shape their own destiny.
