Quote In a 11-4 vote, the City Council decided to remove the 65-foot-tall monument from its location in the heart of the city Just one more step towards socialism. They are doing their best to remove history. Title: Re: OT's thread; End of the Confederacy?

What these idiots don't realize was that the Civil War was not fought over slavery. History has been skewed over the last 20 years to make it seem so. It was fought over states' rights.

Maybe the little old ladies in the United Daughter of the Confederacy should sued for damages like they did at Vanderbilt. The initial cost of the monument plus interest on that amount since 1897 would amount to a tidy sum. Title: Re: OT's thread; End of the Confederacy?

Lincoln first said the same thing, announcing it was fought to keep the Union together. In fact, the border states on the Union side were allowed to keep their slaves until months after the war ended.

The media seemed to be incredulous about that, so they interviewed a bunch of the black citizens to get their opinion about it. Most of them couldn't have cared less. :lol2: Title: Re: OT's thread; End of the Confederacy?

But keep "Ole Miss" which was the title given to the leading female slave who worked in the house? Title: Re: OT's thread; End of the Confederacy?
