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.
I guess the civil war wasn’t part of our history ???? Seems to me, however, I remember reading in school that we had a civil war sometime in the 1800’s, I guess I was wrong !!!!
They can’t change history…their ignorance is now on full display ..these random acts will be recorded and preserved…only ignorance will be enshrined. The people who placed these monuments were Americans too, these are their first amendment expressions…sad that these pathetic, paranoid heathens only exist to hate and disrespect the history of this nation and the millions who lived it.
Yes….but these people are not democrats they are socialists and are too dumb to know what they are doing.
Removing monuments won’t fix anything, typical liberal plan but it fills good, and the crimes go on and the shootings in the streets of Chicago go on and the shooting in New Orleans go’s on, and Detroit Philadelphia and spreading
They just don’t teach history in school anymore so therefore the youth of today will be doomed to repeat it, no matter how bad, and how much trouble it caused, instead of learning from history’s mistakes, and preventing it from happening again they will do the very same things that they don’t know already happened. in the past.
