Southern heritage buffs vow to use the Virginia gubernatorial election as a platform for designating April as Confederate History and Heritage Month.
The four candidates have differing views on the Confederacy, an issue that has been debated for years in the commonwealth.
"We're not just a few people making a lot of noise," said Brag Bowling, a spokesman for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the oldest hereditary organization for male descendents of Confederate soldiers. "This is not a racial thing; it is good for Virginia. We're going to keep pushing this until we get it."
Each candidate recently shared his thoughts on what Mr. Bowling called a "litmus test for all politicians." Lt. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine would not support a Confederate History and Heritage Month. Former state Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore would support something that recognizes everyone who lived during the Civil War.
Sen. H. Russell Potts Jr. and Warrenton Mayor George B. Fitch would support a Confederate History and Heritage Month. Many past Virginia governors honored the Civil War or the Confederacy.
In 1990, former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, the nation's first black governor, a Democrat and a grandson of slaves, issued a proclamation praising both sides of the war and remembering "those who sacrificed in this great struggle."
Former Govs. George Allen and James S. Gilmore III, both Republicans, issued Confederate History Month proclamations. In 2000, Mr. Gilmore replaced that proclamation with one commemorating both sides of the Civil War -- a move that enraged the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Gov. Mark Warner, a Democrat, has refused to issue a gubernatorial decree on either side of the Civil War.
Mr. Kaine, another Democrat, would decline to issue a Confederate History and Heritage Month proclamation if he is elected governor, said his campaign spokeswoman, Delacey Skinner.

could it be PREJUDICE & BIGOTISM towards AmerIndians & our culture/religious beliefs, on your part???
inquiring minds want to know.
free dixie,sw
but don't expect an admission of wrong from the unionist coven, as they're NEVER wrong. (sarcasm button: ON!)
free dixie,sw
the WBTS "end date" by MOST scholars is considered to be in early JUNE 1865, when the last large CSA Army unit disbanded & "went home" to IT.
you REALLY should check your facts. then,you'd LOOK smarter to those who know the history of the WBTS.
free dixie,sw
SORRY, but you (as usual) don't KNOW what your talking about.
free dixie,sw
may i once again suggest that such "pronouncements from on-high" be prefaced with:
"in my UNeducated & SILLY OPINION,"?
free dixie,sw
free dixie,sw
how does THAT number of MURDERS compare to the TOTAL number of innocents killed by Al Quaeda? (oh my! i forgot. you unionists think murdering CSA POWs, "persons of colour" & UNarmed women & children was A-OK, don't you?)
free dixie,sw
of course they deny that FACT (despite the USA's OWN camp records!) & that the unionist coven of ghouls MURDERED at LEAST 50,000 HELPLESS CSA POWS in those DEATH CAMPS, just because it was cheaper/easier than FEEEDIN/HOUSING them.
free dixie,sw
their TINY minds are "made up".
free dixie,sw
should i bring my garand & a case of LC ball to the next one???

Jefferson Davis was SELECTED not ELECTED, real Americans know the difference...
"why are you still capitalizing my screen name after EVERYONE was asked to STOP doing so???? could it be PREJUDICE & BIGOTISM towards AmerIndians & our culture/religious beliefs, on your part???"
So the correct capitalization of proper names is due to something about American Indians??? LOLOL, Pure wackoism!
Here is another linguistic wonder of yours. "inquiring minds want to know."
(Corrected) 'I'nquiring.....
At the beginning of any sentence you also capitalize, but you already knew that and just wish to exist in a state of total scatterbrained rebellion. You must have been a uncouth handful for grade school teachers.
Non-Seq's tagline is not source history.
What do you mean, you are still fighting the Civil War in the here and now... LOL

In terms of Admiral Yamamoto, who studied at Harvard and was also stationed in Washington representing Japan's Navy before war, and he understood well how Americans ticked.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto originated the plan for the sneak attack on our naval & air forces on Pearl Harbor. Yamamoto clearly understood the ramifications of enraging the American public, even though Togo and his crowd refused to listen.
Lightning Strike The Secret Mission to Kill Admiral Yamamoto and Avenge Pearl Harbor
OK...since the ELECTED reps of the Confederate States "selected" him, it is still the same thing....
I had that suspicion LOL
I agree with you on both counts, but do you see my point?
It was no more wrong to have Booth kill Lincoln during time of war, then the others.......
