Do You Agree With Confederate Monuments Being Removed?
What I see every time one Confederate statue getting torn down, or violated!
First off, both sides of my family fought during the Civil War. I grew up respecting both my northern and southern sides of my family. I believe in respecting the flag, and I was raised knowing what the flag laws were. With this being said I am still trying to wrap my mind around why we are allowing people to burn flags, and tear down monuments that are around/over 100 years old. I'm all for history! Lately, since the whole ban the confederate flag movement happened, I'm scared sh*tless to go out wearing my Dukes of Hazzard shirt. I have a fear of some group of young jackasses jumping me, and calling me a racist over a my shirt. Yes, for some weird ass reason people have become pretty dumb the last 10 years. I love the civil war! I love the technology that came from it, iron-clad warships, mines, submarines, gatling guns, & so much more. The Hunley was the very first sub ever built, and it was built by the CSA. Are we going to ignore that? I'm just so dumbfounded by tearing down so many beautiful historical statues, tearing up CSA graves, and headstones. People were painting headstones for saying CSA on them. This generation has no respect for the dead. I always have felt that we learn from our mistakes. I feel we are making a big mistake with removing these monuments. There are many people protesting to save them, rallying up, and yet their voices are being ignored. Out of the 7 in New Orleans, 2 have been removed, and are to be sold to private collectors. When one fell, there's going to be more CSA stuff being removed, Florida is already on the chopping for one of theirs.
How much more history are we going to tear down before it's to late?
One more thing I get tired of having to explain over and over again. What is a offical csa flag, and what is not. Just do the research, and learn what flags were official CSA flags.
