Equating the Confederate Battle Flag and the Swastika is truly one of the greatest evil propaganda achievements of the left. Yes, at the time, white people, not just in the South, mostly thought black people inferior. Even Lincoln thought so. That was not evil, just the state of the culture at the time, especially when most that was known about people from Africa was that they were extremely primitive and uneducated people. One could reasonably deduce, without a shred of malice, that the races were not equal.
Where it really turns vicious is, even the worst Southern slaveholder never, ever thought that blacks should all be murdered, men, women and children. There was no ideology of hatred of blacks for being black. The comparison to Nazis is sickening.
The ironic thing is the city is named after Andrew Jackson.
Jackson was a revolutionary war era figure that died before the Civil War ever began but owned as many as 300 slaves in his life.
I doubt most people here even know that.
If you did a man on the street poll I bet most would say Jackson lived during the civil war.
