These are all dying because Confederate reenactors are now designated as Hate Groups.
Deo Vindice
The Southern Poverty Law Center is at the head of this attack along with the MSM. States with minorities at the head of the tax departments are disallowing 501-3C status to Confederate Historical organizations. The vilification of the Confederates within the universities is also taking a toll with academics labeling any Southern reenactor as a racist. City politicians trolling for votes manipulate the laws to remove Southern hero statues from their cities. The attack upon the Confederate history is the template for the left to attack the 2nd Amendment and it is working.
