There are generations who had relatives that joined the Confederate army. They are entitled to the legacy of the south and that includes their leadership.

Please remember that the south was given total amnesty and we started to bind the wounds between the north and south.

Why this generation insists on alienating the south is beyond me. It's just plain stupid.

I’m not sure Jefferson Davis was.
