I despise the Confederacy, but you cannot equate terrorists who murder innocents who are just going about their business with men, often conscripted, who were willing to put their hide on the line in the meat grinder of 19th century combat.

I despise the Confederacy

I despise the damn Yankees who raped and killed innocent women and the senseless burning and destroying of property as they marched through the South.

“I despise the Confederacy”

You act as if it still exists, it does not. It is a part of American history. Confederates were (and their legacy is) as American as you and I.

You don’t get to despise part of America without despising all of America.
