Maximum Overkill Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 Trump is brings it back, FINALLY "Fort Lee," previously named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee, was officially renamed Fort Gregg-Adams on April 27, 2023. This change was part of a broader effort to rename military bases and assets commemorating the Confederacy, a movement accelerated after the 2020 death of George Floyd and the ensuing racial justice reckoning.

posty Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 Which will then be changed back after his Presidency... It shouldn't have been changed to begin with, but at the time, I guess that was a way to make some feel better... One thing that was bad, IMO, was that pretty much everything that was changed from something dealing with the confederacy to someone that was black... I just think something like this will cause issues the other way... Quote

That's where your wrong Chico. A Union soldier WOULD NEVER DIE FOR A BLACK MAN. And that's a quote from Sherman. At that time in history no white Man was going to war to free slaves and if you know your history you would know that Slavery was all but dead in the South at the time of the Civil War. Only a handful of very rich people could even afford to own a slave. They didn't want the South to succeed from the Union. If you think ANY of the Civil War was to free slaves then your an idiot, it was a guise to justify Sherman's March. Quote

It was a political divide, on many issues, sort of like if California and other states decided to succeed from the Union in today's political climate. It wouldn't be just one reason. And when Lincoln declared full on war it was not "let's go free the slaves", it was "the south is going to control all the ports and we will starve to death". It was a matter of survival. The blacks just came along for the ride. Quote

Yeah it’s cool that he wanted to reconcile after his side lost the war (= loser), but he fought for the Confederacy (= traitor). What I stated was factual. He was a traitor and a loser. 1 Quote

If you want to do something productive how about you take your Ph.D. and do some of the heavy-lifting. Work to close the wage gap for Native Americans that are actually living right now. How about you work on reducing substance abuse, domestic abuse, or homelessness crisis in this community? You don't because it's hard work and won't get your name in the paper.

He lost a couple of major battles, but, won a lot more than he lost and played an essential role in American history. There is no telling what happens if he doesn't discover the routes that Mexico left unguarded. Not my fault you're a history illiterate. Every time you label an important historical figure with a simpleton title you expose yourself as the autistic retard that you are. I'd suggest just shutting it down on most topics that you're not capable of debating. Quote
Mark Davis Posted June 11, 2025 Posted June 11, 2025 Every time these things come up we want to sit in judgment of a time long gone. By today's values, most every man of that time was flawed. The truth is that at the time, people often viewed themselves as citizens of their states first. The entire populace would have had to have been "traitors", and if it happened today they would be. But that wasn't the case in that period of time. As someone who grew up in the heart of the old South these things rarely come up here. I can't tell you the last time I saw the old stars and bars flag. It doesn't bother me one way or the other what we do with the names. Now, I do agree when the Montgomery schools changed their major high schools names from Jeff Davis and Robert E Lee. Shockingly that's only been within the last few years. Those schools are almost 100% black and being reasonable I get why the folks there wanted the name change. No issue here at all. However, I don't think we should erase these people from the history books and things that were named for them. Robert E Lee didn't live in 2025, he was an old man by the 1860's. I don't think many people of the time would pass judgment by modern standards. Quote
