About the Confederate Memorials
For my yankee friends who do not understand I will try to put this in perspective for ya. At the outbreak of the civil war there were 21 million folks living in the north. There were 9 million living in the south and four million of those were slaves. The north had industry that could be used to fuel the war machine, the south was agricultural. The north had a navy, the south had a couple of boats. In spite of these difficulties it still took ya four years to whup us and if Lee hadn't surrendered at appomatox the war might still be going on today. The southern soldier did more and more with less and less until he could almost do anything with nothing.
Before the civil war many southerners gave their lives to support the union. Robt E Lee served during the Mexican American war. After the civil war many sons of the south have died to keep America safe for our families in the North and the South. Many southern military institutions such as Texas A&M and Va Military Academy have contributed the leadership and lives of their graduates to defending America.
The confederate memorials are not about slavery nor repression but about courageous people fighing against insurmountable odds. Whatever their other transgressions the debt has been paid and their loyalty to the country has been proven.
I repeat, slavery is and was evil and should never have happened on our shores. We are the people who free slaves not the people who own them
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
