The Museum of the Confederacy will likely drop the word "Confederacy" from its name when it moves its collection to a new home.

It must really irritate you to look at all those "slavers" on our U.S. currency.
See for yourself. Neturei Karta are "devout Jews" who are 100% pro Islamofacism, just as the "black confederate hertiage groups" are "African-Americans" who are 100% pro-CSA. Bet we can get some of these Jews proudly waving the cresent flag. It's mideast heritage, not hate:
True. But say there were a Civil War museum in Gettysburg called, "The Union Museum" or "The Museum of the Rebellion." One might think that the museum left an important aspect of the era out of the picture.
A lot depends on whether the museum's mandate is to tell the story of the Confederacy or a broader story about the Civil War period, and whether it seeks patrons just among the Confederate crowd or the wider public. The bigger and more ambitious an institution is, the more it aims at a national or international audience and the less local it becomes.
In fact, there are "Grand Army of the Republic Museums" in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota which tell the story of Union Army units and veterans. They're all quite small and unvisited. If they were larger, they might have changed their names to be more "inclusive." Some institution that began as outgrowths of the GAR have done just that, becoming "Civil War" rather than "Grand Army of the Republic" museums.
It wasn't a 'new' society, but simply the same society that founded this nation.
Slavery was also 'carved' into the U.S. Constitution. Maybe you should lobby to change the name of our country if you're so bent out of shape about it.
"Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, ''that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.''" John Adams
No, but from now on I'll check with BillyBoy from Illinois before I post anything.

If they change the name does that mean that the Confederacy never existed? God save us!
If they do, they can give me the Lee, Jackson, and Stuart statues. I will find a place to display them with honor and pride.

They quit in disgust after Aryan Nations lawyer Kirk Lyons and his white separatist League of the South buddies took over?
"...haven't given the Columbus museum a DIME, since..."
Good for you. The new facility is nice but they sure don't get too many visitors. Maybe if heritage wasn't PCed they would generate some more interest.
They would actually destroy their history as well as their tourism? For shame!
