Lake County, Illinois is immediately north of Chicago which is in the neighboring Cook County, Illinois. There is no word yet as to whether or not the ignorant Commissioner Kyle (who may have failed American history) also wants to remove the Civil War monument located outside of his county office in Waukegan, Illinois.

One of his major complaints (not included in the text) is that reenactment would feature uniformed Confederate soldiers and Confederate battle flags.

"Some of the things that really happened are not in the history books."

So then how does Kyle know about them?

What a bunch of ingrates.

[The people have spoken]

He doesn’t want to be reminded of the war that emancipated his people? He should read “Underground Airlines” to see what life would be like if the Civil War hadn’t been fought.

“This is a re-enactment of a war over the enslavement of African Americans..”

Then it must follow that the war was also to free African Americans. What a maroon.

It may have been popular, but your betters know what’s best for you.

Nobody thought it would end, probably. They thought it would be Wauconda Forever.

Let the reenactors wear Soviet, Red Chinese or No. Vietnamese uniforms instead of Confederate ones. I really want to see the reaction of the leftists, the extortionists of BLM, etc.

Abraham Lincoln should have had his way with the slaves.

Bulls**t response from the Forest Preserve:

Cancelled due to safety

[HamiltonJay]

Idiots like this are going to divide this nation in a way that even a war will not be able to preserve it.....

>>>This is a re-enactment of a war over the enslavement of African America<<<

Will, it may have ended that way but it didn’t start out that way. The result was it Freed the Slaves at the cost of hundreds of thousands of Lives and countless Life changing injuries.

History is supposed to be historical, not hysterical.
