The left does it every day.
Then I guess you won’t be attending.
Mad that they didn’t invite you?
So if the war was just about slavery, why did the North wait until after Gettysburg to free the slaves, and then only the slaves in the South? Could it be that there was more to the CW than slavery?
‘The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People plans to protest the event’
Screw them.
They should sneak a real article of secession in there and camouflage the real governor have him sign it in front of everyone and make it “real”......
On the Today show, Glen McConnell destroyed the best that the NAACP could put forth in a nationally televised debate. The NAACP will not debate McConnell publicly because they know they will not win.
Secession was the right path back then, and it is the right path now. The federal government is a tyranny which removes the powers rightfully granted to the states by our founding fathers and by our constitution. Our union of the several states was destroyed by Lincoln and replaced by a nation state controlled by Washington DC. I say this as a lifelong Yankee.
I find this quote from the article interesting:
“Asked whether there could be good Sesquicentennial events, Randolph said, ‘If there were a dialogue to sit down and discuss that event 150 years ago and how it still negatively impacts the lives of so many people in this state and around the country, that would be a good discussion, but not an event to sit down and tell lies about what happened and glamorize those people who thought America was so sorry and so bad that they wanted to blow it to hell. That’s what they did — that’s what they attempted to do, and we want to make that honorable?’ “
In other words, “If you want to have a dialogue to make it about race, that matches our view of history, and gives us an opportunity to shake down some even organizers, then we’re all for it.”
The NAACP doesn’t have the right to not be offended. Maybe they’re just pi$$ed because they weren’t invited. Whateva!
Sorry, but Lincoln did more damage to the “work of George Washington” that the South ever did.
I just wish I could go...
It is quite evident to see that you are only trying to instigate a fight and ill will toward those Southern Freepers who have the “audacity” to be proud of their ancestors who fought for the South. You sir are worse than a San Francisco liberal.
Just for fun, some South Carolinians should lobby for a commemorative “First to Secede” license plate.
Great to see a celebration of the rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
Thanks for the article.
BUMP.

Slavery is still a Muslim problem.
I thought secessionists didn’t have balls. Wait a minute...that didn’t come out right.
The secession movement in South Carolina was a demonstration of treason. There is no right to unilaterally secede. The Confederate democrats were traitors and tyrants.
Sounds like a real hoot but if conflicts with my planning our annual “Fall of Savannah Celebration Hoe-down” on December 21st.
