I thought the country was unified after the Civil War ended.

Two members of Black Kettle’s band, the hasf-breed sons of William Bent, of Taos fame, of the Cheyenne tribe, were going to Indian school in St Louis when the civil War broke out. They immediately joined the Confederate army and fought at Wilson’s Creek and Pea Ridge, and down in Mississippi.

Not long after, they were with their band of Cheyennes leading attacks against settlers in Colorado and Kansas.

When the weather got too cold to make war, they sued for peace till the winter of 1864 was over and were going to start the war over in 1865 when the grass got tall enough to support a war pony.

But Chivington, who hated Confederates and considered them “Red Rebels” cleaned their plow at Sand Creek.

This is what our modern history never teaches you about the Sand Creek Massacre.

I lived in Lee housing area at West Point. Or did I? Is that wiped out now. Did I not live there or am I a white nationalist? Man, so much to ponder.

I certainly hope we study the tactics of the Southern generals.

As any good commander should study Rommel, Guderian, Zhukov, Khan, or any other successful general.

They need to replace it with a statue of a peg-legged, lesbian tranny. The symbol of the New RAT Amerika.

He turned and fought against the United States. I hadn’t known that. No wonder they want to take the picture down. I’m sure he’ll get over it.

Woke cowards trying to vicariously fire the final shots of a war that ended 160 years ago.

And Lee’s quote about honor will be stripped from the academy’s Honor Plaza.

Oh, the sad irony.
