I sincerely apologize to you Madame for my unseemly and vulgar behavior and anyone else here on Free Republic. I feel very strongly about this subject. I have an ancestor who fought in the Union Army. You're right Bodlein_Girl. Our enemies would love to see us at each other throats to confirm their worst stereotypes of conservatives. I know. I used to be one of them a long time ago.

This Alexander Stephens crap is taught in common core these days. No, he was not mentioned, much less part of any history book I ever had in Hampton, VA through 1965. We still had segregated schools there in 65 and 66 was also segregated as I liked a girl in that class. Now, this Lee High is known to me as both my sisters are retired teachers in Huntsville, AL. I did not care for that city as it is Air Defense Arty types and civilian engineers working on Redstone Arsenal. Add air defense contract types also. I was there a few years as after the Army I went there to see my parents as my mother was very ill. My father retired there after 30 years and 3 wars. I would not live in Seattle. My MD here left Seattle years back. It was too liberal for him. The man who stated he was a historian posted fact as I learned it also.

An excellent article on the topic of slavery in Missouri, St Louis in particular:

http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/slavery.htm

Should be read by everyone on this thread.

And in St. Louis city, we're just waiting for the leftist wackos to figure out that St. Louis himself, or King Louis IX, was a Crusader who killed Muslims.

I believe they'll change our name to River City.

Do you think there is a limit as to how far conservatives will allow this to go, or do you believe it’s over????

I don't know.

My guess is that most of us are individualist, not collectivists, which might put us at a disadvantage against an organized effort.
