“defenders of the Confederate legacy”
No matter what you think or do, the Confederacy and Slavery will always be connected in history and equated with one another.
Pennsylvania- Second Saturday in May
Damn! I never knew that and I lived there my whole growing up life. Huh...that is kinda cool...Thank you.
This statement is all the more reason why we need a Confederate History Month.
Here this boy is, a state representative from Georgia, and he thinks the CSA's goal was to 'overthrow' the US federal government!! (Of course, he is a democrat, which means he ain't none too bright..........)
Ya reckon he got his American history education in a PC public school?
“Mark your calendars!”
Why?
There was nothing noble about the Confederacy. Nothing.
Would it be possible to have all the states celebrate it on ONE day?
ping of interest
As a person from down here, I would say there is NOTHING wrong with honoring the thousands upon thousands of people who died in that war. Even if they lost, they were still Americans.
Pennsylvania has a confederate memorial day? What the hell?
Ping of interest. Dual parts history and Alabama.
To paraphrase Horatio: “I am more antique Confederate than an Obamanite.”
Civil War post on Freerepublic always spark some emotions and heated replies. 150 years later and we are the only ones left to speak up for what our ancestors did on both sides of that war, and many will speak up for them very passionately. The anniversary 2011-2015 is going to be interesting.
Where’s the “You lost, get over it” banner?
Ping that might take your interest - some posts, anyway.
Southerners,we’re family:
