Good.
The Southern heritage still burns brightly. May the 4000 turn into 4 million as a message they will never turn their back on all that is true and good.
This is the way we teach our children Free Speech and about our heritage...not by putting everything in a vault.
This is very good news.
Every one of these memorials is to American Veterans. By an act of Congress ALL Confederate Veterans were determined to be US Veterans. Therefore the statuary honoring them is honoring US Veterans, and the people wanting them taken down are against OUR VETERANS— all of them over the years.
They have no legal right to take them down, period. And politically, it would be insane to do so for this “expedience”.
This is significant. Alamance County is the location of the Battle of Alamance... the FIRST battle in the American Revolution against British Tyranny. The British dictator/governor Tryon defeated the Regulators, who refused to pay taxes (particularly on grain products and others)or tolerate absurd abuse by corrupt govt. agents against their persons— to support the building of Tryon’s Palace, an absurd mansion in New Bern, NC.
This was waaaaay before the Boston Tea Party and the Stamp Act and all of the escalated reasons for Revolution.
The NC legislature is expediting a bill to prevent the removal of any memorials— it will pass. NC is the location of the FIRST push back against tyranny. Push back FReepers to keep our Republic.
The signage at this demonstration says: All lives matter, ALL HISTORY matters.
