Sorry but your comment is not serious and laughable.

Get him started on the Acela Corridor.

"...The interim superintendent, retired Army Maj. Gen. Cedric T. Wins, is the first African American to assume the position..."

Oh, goody goody. Just another Leftist turd of a different color is all.

“What Civil War? What do you mean Whites fought to free
Black slaves. No they didn't!”

If people in the U.S. “fought to free Black slaves” they did so unnecessarily. The original constitution provided an amendment process to emancipate slaves peacefully. It should have been used, or better yet the slaves states should have voted to exclude slavery from the U.S. Constitution from the start.

The slave states were: New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Delaware and Maryland.

Also North and South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia were
slave states. Don't ever forget to cast 4/13ths responsibility in that direction.

You believe the fake history you are taught in the same way brainwashed liberals believe the fake news they are taught.

Stuck on that I see. Pray tell, what do you know about the "Acela Corridor", and why is it called that?

It was about whether or not a bunch of Union soldier could take a tourist trip down the Shenandoah Valley to visit the town of Staunton. Ten VMI cadets died there and 48 were wounded.

This is exactly right

Slavery wasn’t abolished in 1861
The Union was

“VMI cadets fought there in 1964 and it is an hour’s drive north of campus.”

What was that fight about?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Wasn’t 1964 or so when they started ‘integrating’ the schools in ‘the South’? HA HA....

“If? You lost me right there.”

Well, when you get un-lost, ask yourself this question: If the South was fighting for slavery, who was fighting against slavery?
