GETTYSBURG (Reuters) - The U.S. National Park Service began removing Confederate flag merchandise from its bookstores and gift shops on Thursday, joining a nationwide push by lawmakers and retailers to remove the emblem, long associated with the fight to preserve slavery.

Kathy Kupper, a national parks spokeswoman, said she doesn't know how many parks had previously sold Confederate flag merchandise, but about 70 of the organization's 407 parks are related to the American Civil War.

“We strive to tell the complete story of America,” National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis said in a press release. “Any stand-alone depictions of Confederate flags have no place in park stores.”

You are very inept in history. If you have no understanding of the Northern Aggression, keep your idiot self unto yourself.

True, but the NBP are useful tools of the party of racism and both the NBP and democrat party keep that separation between them so that there is no direct attribution to the democrat party.

The KKK was always seen as arm of the democrat party.

Thanks. I did a search, and found Captain Arthur MacArthur, but basically all it said was that he planted the Union flag, nothing about the cannons. What I hadn’t known was that he was Douglas MacArthur’s father.

He charged the hill without direction or acceptance.

He took that hill. He took Chattanooga.

It is not a well known fact but now you can tie in Douglas.

We have the good part of the Civil War and that is states rights so it was not a total loss.

Really?

Have you ever actually read about or studied the results of the War Between the States?

HINT: A dramatic LOSS in States' Rights was the outcome.

Are they going to re-chisel Mount Rushmore?

No they will just do a Taliban on it.

They paid an artist 75,000 bucks in the day to capture it. The smoke is from all of the trees burning. The yanks rushed the Mtn after they had cut off the TN river. The cannons had no effect as they pointed down.

This painting is the meeting of two Generals before the assault on the SW side. They actually attacked right up the north side.

You can only appreciate it if you have been there. Where they are here is safe.

Absolutely not. We won states rights over that war. That is one of the positives of the Civil War. Even though the South got their butts handed to them, we did very well in states rights. We still have them today. Notice not all states have income taxes and some don’t have sales taxes and many other things.

This guy doesn't even wait until the next paragraph to contradict himself.

Well in Florida we don’t have a state income tax. In Florida, we don’t have ACA. And many other awesome state rights for this state.

True....luckily I live in a gated community that can’t have any section 8 or worse in our community. Plus we have an HOA (I know evil) but it keeps the rift raft down.
