Exactly what neoyankee south bashers like the OP of this thread hope for

As Cleburne famously said before Franklin whilst surveying the lay of the forthcoming battle from atop Breezy Hill with his brigade general officers Govan Granberry and Lowery.....going on memory I think Cleburne and Granberry fell that afternoon at dusk...

Cleburne said ...basically if lose today we lose everything including how we are described by the future

But note his contemporaries in the north respected he and his valor

It took 150 years till a generation of utter pussies who likely have never busted insomuch as a grape have taken him down simply to puff how noble they are about blacks

Blacks Cleburne offered to emancipate early on i might add

These same folks are onto Washington and Jefferson and Jackson and even Lincoln now

Not like wee didn’t try to warn them

I’m within LAPUA 338 magnum range of where Cleburne fell

I agree with your take on this.

I would also pay attention to his contemporaries in the North before I’d listen to any of these wankers today.

This purge of the South really angers me.

It’s a scrubbing of history, and that isn’t right.

Iirc, Cleburne has been honored on Free Republic threads.
It's only too bad for the Confederacy that men like Cleburne and Forrest were never promoted to higher leadership.
