Would it be ok for someone to put up a state of Hitler in Germany? No. Move Davis to a museum. Respecting and remembering history is important, but honoring people who led insurrection against America, who killed Americans is wrong. Davis lost, his cause was bad, move on.
I don’t know. I’m rather sympathetic to those who lead insurrections against what they perceive as tyranny and, especially, not abiding to the U.S. Constitution.
If it hadn’t been for Jefferson Davis, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and parts of California would be Northern Mexico. As leader of the Mississippi Rifles and the Secretary of War, Davis served the US well.
Many Confederates viewed their insurrection as a second war of independence against tyranny.
We’ll just have to put up more for whomever leads the insurrection against the Muslim Communist government that is trying to take over the whole nation right now. Blacks and Liberals are going to hate those too.
You can’t wipe out the South, it’s heritage or its history. It’s in the blood. And it isn’t about slavery. That’s just a ploy to get something for nothing. Blacks and Liberal Marxists have little to commemorate except the destruction of liberty on a scale unheard of in American history. No people of any ethnicity came to this country under stellar circumstances. You would think that the Obamas and most blacks still had chains around their ankles, much like my ancestors did, some of whom came here as indentured servants.
Freedom has been dream come true for almost everyone who has come to this nation except for blacks. They simply never learned to deal with the responsibility of it and Liberal whites have been cashing in on them for decades. Even if they succeeded in wiping out every vestige of Southern history, it wouldn’t change the collective mindset of these perpetual “victims”.
