Left-wing pressure continues across the country to undertake Soviet-style historical revisionism and remove all traces of monuments to the Confederacy and those who died on its behalf.
It’s one thing for the winners of wars to write history, but why has America suddenly become preoccupied with rewriting that history to pretend it never happened?
The clash between far-right and far-left extremists in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend just accelerated the drive in some cities to get rid of Confederate monuments. That movement is predicated on the belief that the American Civil War was fought solely over the issue of slavery.
What that perspective overlooks is the historical fact that a number of Southern states decided to secede from the United States and form their own country with its own constitution – The Confederate States of America.
Obscuring that fact is the high emotion currently around the issue of race in America now. On the next page, learn the city that just removed four Confederate monuments in the dead of night, and what it plans to do with them.
They will go as far as we let them.
History will repeat itself.
Remove Baltimore in the dead of night would be better. Float it out to sea.
Even better, remove Baltimore in the dead of night. Float it out to sea.
How are going to like it when your memorials are torn down in broad daylight ?
Mohammad Ali, remember the famous Black boxer, after visiting Africa for his fight with Joe Frazier, remarked on its deplorable condition; I’m glad my daddy came over on the boat…….and he wasn’t referring to any cruise ship!
Just like the taliban erase our history.
They will continue doing it as long as the American people like them by working
We need to remember all our history- both the good and the bad!!!
