Well, I suppose the war against Southern heritage is new, as in, it really started at least 40 years ago.
During the civil rights era, all blacks were looking for, was fair and equitable treatment under our laws and our Constitution. They wanted an end to institutionalized racism and racial discrimination. I don't think any of them wanted to see the South burn again.
No, that was a goal of the godless Communists who infiltrated that movement, and they have pushed it to this very day.
Exactly, the war on the South stated at the same time as the war on Christmas, Christianity, Western Civilization, men in history and so on, it was when suddenly, rewriting the textbooks and removing all non-liberal symbols became all important to the left as they started remolding America, and reshaping the meaning of everything.
