ATLANTA — In a cultural war that has pitted Old South against new, defenders of the Confederate legacy have opened a fresh front in their campaign to polish an image tarnished, they said, by people who do not respect Southern values.
With the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States in 2011, efforts are under way in statehouses, small towns and counties across the South to push for proclamations or legislation promoting Confederate history.

Yeah, right.
What is the Constitution but words on a piece of paper that we're expected to follow? You damned fool.
It's the actions of yankee rascals, such as Lincoln, Roosevelt, Clinton, Pelois, Reid, Obonga, Schumer, Fwank, et al, who bastardize or ignore the Constitution that I'm talking about.
Ah, NOW I understand. What you're complaining about is that the rest of the world doesn't always agree with you when you decide that something is Constitutional or something is not. Well...why should we?
Have another donut.
Everywhere.
I had a typo in 'reasons'? That's the best you can do?
Please explain where I went wrong. Take your time, you deserve that.
“wasting time writing such a long letter”
My apologies that letter doesn’t include Yankee “code words” such as Sieg Heil or “New Order.”
I’m sure that Marx and his lover Lincoln coined many of words such as “comrade”
Again my apologies for not providing a better letter for you mind controlled zombies
Your rebs didn't have to kill every Union soldier nor invade the North nor be everywhere superior to the Union. All they had to do was to keep an army in the field and maintain the rebellion. Given the vast area of the Confederacy, war exhaustion would have eventually defeated the North sooner or later. And it's hard to see how the rebs couldn't endure considering they had the best soldiers, the most brilliant generals, the noblest cause, the most honorable leaders, the most enlightened government and most incompetent enemies of any rebellion in history. On the other hand, it just might be the Confederacy wasn't the citadel of liberty that its defenders make it out to be and the more intelligent southerners of the day realized that the slave empire wasn't worth a hard fight.
Actually, Lincoln was the first American Caesar. Like Caesar, he destoyed a Republic and put an empire in it's place. The Lefties came later.
I don't need all that much time. You were wrong in every conclusion you made. Your whole analysis is flawed.
Has it ever occurred to you Yankees that the South just generally hated Yankees and wanted to be free from them, just in a general way?
“South just generally hated Yankees”
“Hate” - Apparently the Southern ideal.
Don’t forget “Gestapo”. The rebs had their nice home grown Gestapo to disarm, extort, oppress, imprison and murder any southerner who didn’t bow the knee sufficiently to the Confederate New Order.
Have you called Lerone Bennett Yet?
It does appear Your cult of Lincoln is starting to fall apart..”At one point, Bennett quotes William Henry Seward, Lincoln’s secretary of state, who referred to the proclamation as a hollow, meaningless document showing no more than, “our sympathy with the slaves by emancipating the slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free.”
Forced Into Glory: Abraham Lincoln’s White Dream is decidedly angry, as if Bennett feels betrayed by what he calls the “myth” of Abraham Lincoln.
Then go. Delta flies out of the U.S. as well as into it. Find a part of the world you like and move there. Just don't expect to take parts of my country with you.
You need to read account of the heroes welcome that the liberating Union army received in many places in the South. My favorite account is the entrance of the blue forces in Red Clay, Georgia with the Stars and Stripes waving citizens lining the road complete with an ancient War of 1812 veteran beside himself with joy at the arrival of American soldiers of a new generation.
“...the Confederacy and Slavery will always be connected in history and equated with one another.”
Sadly, true. It was more a states’ rights effort than slavery; slavery was tangential.
And the North just loved their Southern brothers. My bad. I feel the love now, it’s so wonderfull.
“There was nothing noble about the Confederacy. Nothing.”
I’m feeling very sympatico with the Confederate cause since Hussein was elected. I’m thinking about heading to Tennessee on June 3 to help them celebrate.
Being willing to die just to end the association with another, no bigger insult than that. Conversely, no bigger act of brutality than to maintain an association with force.
