LOL ok... makes me feel neither good nor bad, nor do I claim some sort of moral superiority over our ancestors... Of course it wasn't as "Black and white" for many at the time... I also understand that at the time one identified 1st with their state then country ( as Robert E. Lee did) I'm just stating that is Historically inaccurate to claim that the Civil War was a State's Right issue first and foremost. As for the Confederate names of schools and Statues... Leave them up, doesn't bother me a bit
 

Sounds good because I haven't seen any posts by you condemning the Vladimir Lenin statue up in Portland.  Maybe I missed them?

Yes they do... it's just called an "ALCS banner".

No ALCS banner flies at Yankee stadium. At Least when I was going on the reg

We should name some schools for Edwin Rommel, he was also a fine general we fought against.  

Patton's B!tch Middle School?

Personally I had no idea there was a Lenin statue in Portland. 
Why would anyone celebrate a mass murdering dictator? Pretty disgusting.

This is wild.  It’s one thing to fight against not changing the names in the first place, it’s another to actually change them back.  This is pretty shocking considering the level of wokeness in America.  This place doesn’t appear to be very far from DC on a map.

Personally I wish there was a way to remember Confederate figures without celebrating slavery or racism.

Like a statue perhaps?? Nope, Liberals don't want that either

but lets not act like these soldiers weren't complicit in the continuation of the institution of slavery.

Common folk couldn't afford slaves, nor needed them. And do you really believe that any Union soldier was willing to die for a "Negro" at that time? They didn't even believe it was about slavery, because it wasn't. Dig deeper

What don't you understand? Everything I just said is 100% factual. You know what they told you to know, Yankee teachings and Yankee school books I presume?

The South is winning now. Tens of thousands of Yankees are fleeing their Shizzhole states to come South where they don't have to deal with Pedocrat Cultists .

Why does it matter to you? You're a New Yorker and it's just a statue. You have no dog in the fight. If the people want it, so what, it's not your call.
