Great analysis by Megan!

She indeed speaks the truth. It is those who try to say the war was "all about slavery" who are the "revisionists" because that war could not possibly have been about slavery. It was about money, and the North's greed and quest for empire.

I don’t think this is Megan Kelly’s official website. Someone is pulling a fast one.

Big fan of Megyn Kelly but the argument that the Confederate flag was a symbol of rebellion to tyranny amuses me.

What is more tyrannical than slavery?

Oh. Right, right, riiiiiiiight. The Civil War was not about slavery. It was about opposing tyranny. We want to be free to enslave our fellow man!

I oppose the Confederate Flag because it represents another country. I don’t like seeing the Mexican flag flying here in The U.S. and I doubt you see many US flags flying in Great Britainistan.

According the the FR Lincoln Coven the south never left the union. It was never recognized as a nation.

Agree, this doesn't sound like her method of delivery, at all.

You don’t live in Texas do you?

If you do, did you move from the Northeast, or the left coast?

I appreciate the history lesson, however you are right - no way a Media talking head would write this. Unless it was an 'opus'. Wandering that far off the reservation gets one squashed.

Fantastic article. Should be read and studied by every student in Jr. High, High School AND College. But, alas, those institutions are run by racist liberals.

The link is not to "megyn.kelly.com", it directs to "megynkelly.org"

I on't think this is Kelly's style at all. Someone ghost-wrote this.

Sorry, folks, but I really, really doubt this is by Megyn Kelly, at least not the Megyn Kelly of Fox News.

I’d seen it before, and found it here:

http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Articles/tabid/109/ID/3336/The-Confederate-Flag-Needs-To-Be-Raised-Not-Lowered.aspx

Don’t know if Chuck wrote it either, but I think assigning it to Megyn is fraudulent.

And that’s not even addressing the many, many factual errors and misleading statements in the article.

Great article!

I have new respect for Megyn Kelly if she wrote this.
