“This means the Civil War never happened. Therefore, slavery never happened.”

We still have history books and in those history books we can still read Alexander Stephens’ Cornerstone Speech where in his own words he tells us about why the Civil War occurred.

“Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.”

Let me ask you a question. What did Sherman mean when he said he was afraid the Negro could not provide for himself?

But the point is history is being rewritten here just like the Taliban and Stalin etc. If there are no reminders, it didn’t happen. And those history books are being changed every year.

I believe your statement is personally motivated. Both sides of my family has been in this country since before the Revolutionary War and my ancestors were on the Mayflower. I have a CAR membership. Regardless of my families history this nation has a Bill of Rights that states the opposite of your ACLU type BS.
