Hmm..... And Stand Watie calls Northerners bigoted, hate-filled etc.....
I somehow suspect that half of these Confederate threads are started by DUmmies trying to foster division in our midst. Hands up if you lived through the Civil War, and two if you fought in it. Anyone?
No?
It's an important part of Southern heritage, and it was an example of centrists trampling over state's rights, and there was slavery at stake as well, as well as a socio-economic struggle, different value systems etc. There are many reasons why it happened. It did happen. It's in the past. I hope most of you are proud Americans, stand against racism and slavery and we can work together. Because our allegiance to the American dream is what matters. History brought us to where we are today, but only we decide where to go in the future. And we're going nowhere if we fight and squabble over a flag of a country that lasted 5 years about 150 years ago. Don't insult your countrymen unnecessarily (DUmmies excepted, of course :D ) and don't go slinging out random accusations. I really don't see why Confederate threads become such a big deal. They are really divisive and hurt the FReep community.
