Confederate History and Heritage Month

Tennessee Senator Edward Ward Carmack said it best in 1903:

“The Confederate Soldiers were our kinfolk and our heroes. We testify to the country our enduring fidelity to their memory. We commemorate their valor and devotion. There were some things that were not surrendered at Appomattox. We did not surrender our rights and history; nor was it one of the conditions of surrender that unfriendly lips should be suffered to tell the story of that war or that unfriendly hands should write the epitaphs of the Confederate dead. We have the right to teach our children the true history of the war, the causes that led up to it and the principles involved.”

Southerners continue to remember the men and women of the Old Confederacy throughout the year but Confederate Memorial Day is even more special to us when old times are not forgotten.

You definitely need your ass kicked - that is the issue.

There there now - get it all out of your system Internet Toughguy.

Your attitude toward the South deserves scorn. You sound like so many elitists who look down on the South and all conservatives.

[rockrr]

You’re so full of your own bile that you haven’t a clue about my attitude about the south. Why don’t you sober up, wipe the spittle off your chin and try to catch a clue?

[ohioman]

Why don’t you get your head out of your ass. Don’t go ripping good conservatives folks and not expect to get called out on it.

[rockrr]

I see that a couple of hours sleeping it off did you no good. Are you always such a grouch?!

Cotton farming was destroying the land with no modern techniques and it would have been a struggle to keep it up at that level without modernization.

[ohioman]

Jesus dude. Do you have to be a last word queen.

[rockrr]

No. ;’)

[ohioman]

Me neither :)
