To be fair, I’m not opposed to memorializing Confederate soldiers since a lot of them died and I’m sure plenty were decent family men. Japan and Germany do the same thing with their war dead from WWII, but I’m sure Alabama is actually memorializing the Confederacy so, as you said, “Fuck That Shit.”
Indeed. I recently watched this clip of Eisenhower, and he lists Robert E. Lee as one of four top Americans. This is the same man who integrated our schools.
Even Eisenhower can be Wrong sometimes.
I say fuck any and all confederate apologia, but maybe I’m just sick of how pervasive it is where I live, and in my family where unverified oral tradition says I’m descended from a first cousin of Lee and my parents were called traitors for not naming any of their kids Lee. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
