Actually, they were probably afraid they'd lose their lunch after hearing the revolting revisionism and propaganda that goes on at these events, or in posts about them.

Right to freely leave a Union they freely joined? Not fighting for slavery? Union rapists and thugs?

I'm having a hard time holding my lunch down, now. Pravda would be proud of you folks.

What part of that is not true? If you think they did not freely enter the Union, you should study up on the formation of the country.

Rapists? Yes, Virginia, there were rapists. What, do you mean you haven't read that in the history books? Could it be the books are written by the victors? To deny this happened is revisionist itself ("Hello Kettle, this is frgoff, you're black!")

Not fighting for slavery? Yes, it's true. Many only fought when their houses, Churches (Can it be true? No, it has to be propaganda!) and farms were torched and destroyed.

Does not liking the fact that women were raped and towns were destroyed mean you are "vindicating" the entire war? Were there no honor whatsoever among 2,000,000 Confederate soldiers? NONE of them deserve to be honored? And if we do, we're PRAVDA? You are right. I'M the narrow minded one. Silly me!

Oh please.

This is part of the history of this country.

The fact they finally received a proper burial makes this meaningful. It is more than what can be said for those that died in the prisons of both the Union and the Confederacy.

I found the absence of any of the southern governors to be a slap in the face to our history.......and I was brought up in NYC, just happened to have transplanted to Virginia.
