I bet they attack the Christian flag next! And then of course all state flags that have any remnants of our past like the Palmetto Flag. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.clipartbest.com/cliparts/aiq/beq/aiqbeqxqT.gif) Wouldn't suprise me at all, David! The Musilum Loving POS POTUS would LOVE to destroy Christianity as we know it. He's already well on his way to his goal of destroying America

Would that war have been fought if slavery hadn't existed in the South...?
Yes, but ignorant people don't care.

here in Memphis, the city council voted to change the name of any city park that had Confederate roots. Nathan Bedford Forrest Park became Health Science Park. Confederate Park became Memphis Park, and Jefferson Davis Park became Mississippi River Park.
that healed all our past hurts.

Would that war have been fought if slavery hadn't existed in the South...? Yes, but ignorant people don't care. The only real reason for the South to secede was to ensure that slavery continued, because both the economy and massive personal fortunes were tied up in the value of their slaves.
So you can say the war was about state's rights, and the right to secede, but those rights (in this instance) were primarily only to protect the fortunes of rich slave owners and the institution of slavery.
Confederate Alexander H Stephens said what the Civil War was about in his Cornerstone Speech of 1861. The southern economy was based on slavery and prior to the war, the southern power structure tried to expand the slave economy into all of the new territories of the United States including Oregon.
Amazing how revisionist Confederate historians ignore all that.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

The city I work in renamed a lot of their streets for local civil rights activists. Most of them are in prison now.

Yup....that and an initiative to actually replace the Stars and Stripes is underway.
We'll most likely wind up with some rap song and a rainbow flag as national symbols. Knowing all the words to Dixie was a prerequisite when I went to the Citadel.

The Democratic Party has become a hate group against whites. Two cops got let go from the Anniston PD for belonging to "League of the South" a group that advocates secession. Since when do cops not have any freedom of speech off the job?

The vast majority of southern men who fought in the war did NOT own slaves THAT is a cold hard fact. They fought because they were invaded. The history books fail to mention that...

Fly the culpeper Militia flag that really gets their panty's in a twist. The Confederate flag is a symbol of challenging the authority of the state.
As the Federal government assumes more and more authority, it has to eradicate anything that represents a challenge to the state.
There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.

I'll have to ask my nephew who just graduated if it's still that way. I bet in some fashion it is. After all Citadel Cadets were the first ones ordered to fire on Fort Sumter.

The fat-cat Southern politicians lied to the vast majority of southerner's and made em' think it was all about freedom and liberty. Wouldn't be the first time, or last, that politicians have lied to the public in order to garner public support for a war that was beneficial to the politicians.

And the liberal Northern politicians lied to the northerners and made them think it was about slavery. At three to one, it was a slam dunk for the Union.

As Birdwatcher pointed out...slavery was the centerpiece of the South's documents of secession, slavery was the centerpiece of the South's causes for secession, and slavery was the centerpiece of the South's very Constitution. THAT is the truth.

So you really think a couple of dumbass country boys from Arkansas and Delaware were killing each other because some rich guy, neither one of them ever heard of, had cheap labor?
