Mr. Parker's piece points out that there was many brave Confederate men who fought honorably for the most rotten cause even known in the United States. The fact that the right side won the war does not negate the admirable fortitude that these men showed.

I agree there is nothing any fair-minded person should object to in people showing some pride in private venues in these brave men. But when it comes to trying to force the rebel flag into public places, speaking of the "War of Northern Aggression" or labeling our great Republican Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant, I disagree.

"But when it comes to trying to force the rebel flag into public places, speaking of the "War of Northern Aggression" or labeling our great Republican Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant, I disagree."

I find many of the flags flying in public in front of the United Nations to be very offensive. The Stars and Bars,a part of our American history, is no more offensive to me than the name of the state New Mexico, which doesn't bother me at all. I'm sure it offends many from Mexico, but I could care less what they think of our history.

Nothing was done during the war to end slavery in these U.S. states.

Inaccurate. Slavery was ended by state action in MD and MO during the course of the war. Only KY and a few hundred slaves in DE remained in Union states in April of 1865.

Well, I know that our society has had a heap of trash thrown all over it. And it is utterly disgusting. Just can't believe that other writers have refused to stand up, and tell our country they have been fed a bunch of crap. And yes, it's crap. It's all dominoed to the point of the garbage we see happening today in all areas of life. WAKE UP PEOPLE AND GET A CLUE...
