Good post. Hard to avoid the reality that the CBF was carried by the armies that were trying to keep slavery intact.

At the same time, removing every symbol related to the Confederacy is going way overboard.

Confederate soldiers were not fighting to keep slavery. Have you ever read and first hand accounts of history? OTH the union started the war to “preserve the union”. It was repackaged into freeing the black man when the war became unpopular and the needed to fire up the crazies up North.
