The City of Charlottesville will soon be ordered to remove the black tarps currently covering two Confederate statues downtown.
Reading from an official court letter Tuesday afternoon, Charlottesville Circuit Court Judge Richard Moore said he thinks the shrouds on the statues of Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson are a violation of a state code protecting the removal or disturbance of war memorials.
Moore said the city will have 15 days to remove the tarps after an official order has been signed.

The city of Charlottesville will appeal the order on the grounds that “TARPS” are federally funded aid programs and not subject to this court’s jurisdiction. /sarc
They’ll ignore it
Look what they did in Memphis
Quite a loud contingent here who work in unison who don’t agree with your accurate sentiment though now they act like Mad Magazines Newman “who me?”
Noble and gentle people of the South? Not in my book. No one forced them at gunpoint to do anything. The noble heroes opened fire on Ft. Sumter. If the South had won the war would it have ended slavery?
The hell it didn’t. The South had no intention of ending and went to war to preserve it.
Except for the "except" in the 13th, and the current for profit penal system.
They shouldn't have started a war then.
But he didn't so maybe you should save your curses for him?
How so?

TY. I get in the groove sometimes :P

The slavery issue was a tactical maneuver by the north to gain a sanctimonious high ground, and it worked. Eli Whitney did more to actually free slaves than President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

True. The cotton gin would have done the same in short order...shame it didn’t come earlier. One machine vs. numerous mouths to feed/clothe/keep well...
If they had only followed through w/ their 5th A. option: Pay ‘em for their ‘property’ and have done with it; ship back or not.
Unfort., our Republic paid the ultimate price.
Study your history. The cotton gin did more to prolong slavery than any other piece of machinery. It made cotton growing far more profitable by making it easier to clean the harvested boll. That's where the slaves were needed - in growing and not cleaning.
Then you’re really screwed because, outside of a few lost causers, very few believe your revisionism. And that’s as it should be because the history is clear, the records are there to be examined, and the statements of those who participated are easy to find.
Believe whatever makes you feeeeeeeeeeeeel good. The fact remains - slavery was the primary motivating factor in the south’s attempt to break away. They said so themselves.

I merely meant w/ the industrial revolution, slavery was to be short lived.
By any commonly accepted definition of the period, the Industrial Revolution began around 1760 and ended between 20 and 40 years before the outbreak of the Southern rebellion. Slavery was still alive and well.
If your position is that mechanization would have shortly replaced slavery I'll point out that the first practical mechanical cotton harvester was not marketed until the 1930's and the pesticides that did away with the weevils and such didn't come out until the 1950's. So slavery under your scenario had a ways to go.

No slavery, no civil war.
“who me?”
Do you mean “what, me worry?”
“who me?”
Do you mean “what, me worry?”
“They said so themselves.”
No, the rewritten history you believe says so.
Look at how many people believe the leftard’s rewritten version of Vietnam, and there are still many eyewitnesses.
People now becoming aware of fake news and fake history sometimes think it just started when they became aware of it. Lies they have long believed they protect fanatically.
“No slavery, no civil war.”
Wrong.
