All well and good.

It is and always has been about states’ rights and the ability to govern oneself without interference from Big Sister/Big Brother. If it wasn’t slavery it would have been something else to trigger CWI.

BTW, maybe we should talk about how blacks enslave other blacks even today. Or how the Democrats have somehow kept the blacks on the plantation even up to today.

That seems to be lost in the media.

Democraps protesting something Democraps invented and used quite often in their political campaigns. Curious how they only got offended by it when Trump took office.

I have never been enamored of the Confederacy. I have an ancestor who fought them. I have stated here before while I have no wish to see Confederate statues destroyed I don't feel they should be on public property. I have no problem with their being in a museum or in private hands. However given the recent ‘’cultural revolution’’ bought about by Leftist thugs regarding said statues I'm not so sure what to believe anymore. I pray to the Almighty for guidance on this. I confess to be conflicted about the subject.

It may become illegal to sell Confederate flags.

They were a tiny portion of sales and went primarily to Civil War reenactor organizations, she added........................... Oh crap! Now the Yankees at the reenactments will be fighting invisible opponents? The southerners will be banned because they offend a minute part of the population?? Geeeeez, please bring back the 50’s, I want to hear Irish, Italian, Polish, etc, jokes again. We were free to laugh at ourselves back then. It truly was a better time. No one felt offended, it was a war of jokes, and we were all friendly towards each other afterward, just having a good time. I told an Italian joke to my relatives in Italy and they laughed their heads off. (As I type, I’m chuckling just remembering it.)

Those of us in the majority, had no one here in 1865. We see it as this country’s history. The history won’t disappear over night, the causes fought for will be remembered mostly by those who had relatives here at the time. As a first generation American who has read many novels dating back to that period, I feel no malice towards any of the fighting men whether they be from the north or the south. It was the POLITICIANS that drove them into the war. Armies do not declare wars. Neither side was guilty of mass murders, except for a few exceptions like Liberty KA. and Ft Pillow. (Ft Pillow by the famous Democrat that founded the KKK.) (Liberty KA, by a homicidal maniac.) There were no mass graves to hide murdered victims.

Both sides gave their dead an honored burial regardless whether they were from the north or the south. Are we to remove the rebel graves from Gettysburg and other battle fields? What purpose would it serve? Both sides fought for their freedom, when you loose your freedom, you can never regain it without bloodshed. Are the Brits offended by the Revolutionary flags of the USA? Is there a law in the UK that forbids them? The asylum has been taken over here.

‘Democrats gradually become the caricature villain ... the party of Colin Kaepernick and Melissa Click and the screaming girl at Yale and the people defacing the Lincoln Memorial and the pundits who equivocate over condemning Antifa and the transgender YouTube activist who insists that ‘some women have penises’.

I a’n’t (proper contraction of ‘am not’; ask Jane Austen) from the South, but I bought mine years ago!

I saw where we were headed a mighty long time ago.

Tell us we can’t do something and we will move mountains to do it, especially if it is right.

“sales surged after Dylan Roof went on a shooting rampage”

Uh, that wasn’t the reason.

It was a counter-backlash, again. Not to venerate Roof (a genuine racist killer), but to stand up for the flag he happened to have used himself.
