The Confederate Soldiers were a part of an army just like the Union Soldiers were; they fought bravely, valiantly, and many times successfully for what they believed in, and what they were ordered to do...just like the Union Army.

I don't think it was the first time that a country was split my opposing beliefs and had a war...like VietNam, Korea, etc.

Now, we get a daily dose on the idiot tube with the woe-is-me tales about a practice that ended over a hundred years ago. It's become a cartoon of itself in the OBVIOUS attempt to achieve life-long victim status because some of today's FREE, Ameircan CITIZENS happen to be the same color, or a derivitive the color of the slaves.

There is nothing anyone living today can do to undo slavery, it happened just as other tragedies have happened in history. Those that have latched onto it as a crutch to get a free ride in life today, are the types that would found something to latch onto even if slavery had never happened.

Now we want to bring the Confederate Soldiers into the mix, like somehow they had a say-so in it. They were fighting for a cause, just like the Union Army was fighting for their cause.

I've always wondered by the Union Army weren't busy rounding up the northern slave traders that were bringing these people over from Africa and selling them to the south. Oh, but we don't want to go there, oh no.

Folks, the Civil War is over - as a Southerner I concede that we lost the war, however, I will never concede the bravery of those who fought and died, or the loved ones they left behind to suit some modern-day politically correct analpolyp in his/her quest to garner favor with the victim-class in America.

I think we could be spending a lot of this effort worrying about the future, not a past that we cannot change.

“I think we could be spending a lot of this effort worrying about the future, not a past that we cannot change. “

Oh, but our future is directly related to the Civil War past.

One of the many casualties of the Civil War was the 10th Amendment. Ever since the Civil War the federal government has gradually encroached more and more on this important Amendment.

The return of the 10th Amendment to it’s rightful constitutional place will be every bit as painful as the Civil War, I think - and will be every bit as crucial to the preservation of the Union as the Civil War was.

I’m not saying we’ll have another civil war over the 10th Amendment - but I am saying that there will be events that are every bit as significant as that before the 10th Amendment is restored.....and without the return of the 10th Amendment - the Federal Beast will kill the Union.

So I worry about the future because of the past.
