I thought you'd enjoy. Also, do you agree with me that since Thomas Jefferson, George Washington (both Southerners) along with many other founding fathers owned slaves we should take their faces off of our currency, desecrate their graves and remove their names from the many schools named after them?

On the other hand, by 1860 slavery was being called an abomination. The slave holders threw down Old Glory because they didn't like having their sin rubbed in their noses.
