Who the hell cares? When are we as a country going to get past this issue? Our country is being infiltrated by terrorists and illegal aliens by the thousands while we continue to fight and debate the civil war. We should be focusing on the threat today (the terrorist are), instead of reliving the civil war.

More often than not, nations fall from within. The biggest threat this country has ever faced or will ever face is the expansion of federal power over American lives and liberties.

A question solved by violence must remain unsolved forever.

The biggest threats today aren't terrorists or illegal aliens, they comes from within, not unlike the causes of the Civil War.

I totally AGREE! I'm so steamed by these wimps who give in to the PC crowd, changing school names, flags, cemetaries, etc. all in the name of diversity or our so-called dark past. Damn, it's our history, warts and all. We do indeed need to focus on the borders and the millions of illegals in this country right now! As far as the Civil War and slavery,over a half million soldiers paid that debt years ago. Time to get over it.......to see where we were and where we are NOW!

Something is up. Emmett Till is exhumed and autopsied. There's a 1964 Civil Rights murder trial starting up. I believe there is a bill to outlaw/apologize for lynchings in South Carolina(?) that NPR was talking about this morning.

There are forces at work really, really pushing the whole "this country has a race problem" button. Maybe I'm missing the catalyst, but it seems odd to me.

If I had to speculate, I'd say that the Democrats are losing black voters and are desperately trying to get the message out that America hates blacks and that blacks would be safest if they stayed on the plantation.

We will get over it when Northerners quite trying to extinguish Southern heritage, and not a minute before.

It will end when my ancestors are no longer called a racist army. They couldn't have cared less what race the slaves were. They were trying to stop domination by Northern interests.

-When are we as a country going to get past this issue?-

I couldn't agree more, but if we don't keep slavery alive and well, the Rats will have nothing to speak to in the so-called black community.

However, if the MuSlums take over the planet, a little Southern slavery will be peanuts to what we'll all face then.

I care and always will.

This was the beginning of the end for the rights of states. Textbooks have had the northern view of Reconstruction in them for years. It is time for the truth to be told and taught as such.
