How people convince themselves that the Confederate flag represents freedom, not slavery
Historian John M. Coski examines the fights over the symbol's meaning in "The confederate Battle Flag: America's Most Embattled Emblem." www.washingtonpost.com/news/book-party/wp/2015/06/19/how-people-convince-themselves-that-the-confederate-flag-represents-freedom-not-slavery/

Unfortunately, if true and not part of the exact same propaganda distributed by Sons of confederate Vets, Robert E Lee fought for the side that chose slavery as the sole reason for Civil War. (I lowercase "confederates" for many reasons.) And I know many don't want to read much these days, it has to be dumbed-down to choose a side quickly, but that's also part of the "yea, confederates are great men" problem.

All other issues prior to Civil War had been resolved, confederates wouldn't budge on slavery and right to transport their slaves as property across state lines for "travel, rape and torture through bondage services". This isn't hidden information, but well documented in both confederate and non-confederate libraries and museums across the country, but chosen to be ignored and misrepresented (including by K-12 educators) at the offense of many.

Meanwhile, Sons of confederate Vets along w/ kkk, both of which today's GOP shaper, Strom Thurmond was a member of, are trying daily to rewrite history to glorify the losers and their losing cause (slavery), by rewriting their reason for creating Civil War. Their parroted-lie, "loyalty to the states," which is the equivalent of Germany rewriting its Nazi history and Holocaust as simply "loyalty to Germany," then erecting monuments to Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels and Hitler-loyal Nazi SS officers, who represent same exact values as Sons of confederate Vets and kkk (founded by another confederate General, Nathan Bedford Forrest).

Sons of confederate Vets' Strom Thurmond also co-wrote Southern Manifesto (also available in libraries across the country), an outline for racism and discrimination, with Carl Vinson. US Navy chose to honor Vinson with a ship naming (USS Carl Vinson/CVN70). Carl Vinson never served a day in military, but was behind many policies promoting hate and domestic terrorism against non-whites, Jews and women in military.

US is one of the few countries which honors its domestic terrorists, persons who were scheduled to be kicked out of our country, because Lincoln saw their evil hearts personally and knew they couldn't evolve, and would continue to perpetuate racist policies eternally. And Lincoln was right, as immediately after his assassination (funded by confederate Jefferson Davis and carried out by confederates), confederate sympathizer Andrew Johnson (one of worst Presidents in history) reversed all that Union soldiers fought and died for, which gave rise to Nathan Bedford Forrest's kkk, and led to terrorism such as:

• Jim Crow and Jim Crow laws with violence even against whites who refused to hate non-whites and Jews;
  
• Rosewood, Florida massacre;
  
• Native Indian massacres and land thefts;
  
• 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma race riot (largest in history with guns and ammo provided by NRA - https://tulsahistory.org/learn/online-exhibits/the-tulsa-race-riot/ / https://www.thenation.com/article/tulsa-1921/);
  
• Slocum, Texas massacre;
  
• 1963 Birmingham, Alabama church bombing;
  
• murders of Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman;
  
• and many more acts of domestic terrorism from confederate worshipers and sympathizers.
  

Shockingly law enforcement and military members participated in domestic terrorism, including against Jews, who were denied military rights and equal treatment. Twisted irony: when someone fights back against confederates and confederate sympathizer's legacy of hatred, violence and inequality, they're the ones called "un-American", "savages", "a drain on society", by confederate sympathizers and those whose family migrated here during Jim Crow, for the whites only-Jim Crow policies and benefits.

Germany chose to honor Claus Von Stauffenberg and members of Operation Valkyrie, who fought against Hitler - persons who were originally wrongly labeled and ostracized by Hitler loyalists immediately after WWII. Germany later, and wisely, chose to outlaw all Nazi propaganda and Nazi loyalists. the end result: progress for its country, instead of a version of the US's 150+ years after Civil War, still dealing with the same racial nonsense, while denying accurate historical teachings. Ignorance has stalled our country 24/7, and leads to boiling points of violence every single decade.

clearly it's the right decision to remove monuments for confederate treasonists! the persons who support them are JUST as treasonist as the same jackass confederates who fought against THIS country solely for the right to OWN and transport slaves across state lines. these are the SAME persons who disguise that issues as "states rights".

The Monuments Must GoAn open letter from the great, great grandsons of Stonewall Jackson. https://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/08/stonewall_jackson_s_grandsons_the_monuments_must_go.html

We are native Richmonders and also the great, great grandsons of Stonewall Jackson. As two of the closest living relatives to Stonewall, we are writing today to ask for the removal of his statue, as well as the removal of all Confederate statues from Monument Avenue. They are overt symbols of racism and white supremacy, and the time is long overdue for them to depart from public display. Overnight, Baltimore has seen fit to take this action. Richmond should, too.

If you live to be 100, you'll never meet anyone with even 1% of the dignity, honor, loyalty and bravery of General Forrest. He, his men and The Cause stood for something you can never understand. America has descended into filth, chaos and anarchy. It won't be this way forever. Keep mocking a great leader. You mock what you have no way of comprehending.

Words of a great war general, General William Tecumseh Sherman, ever so true, even to this day:

You people of the South [replace with today's Strom Thurmond GOP] don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!You mistake, too, the people of the North [replace with liberals and non-rwnj's]. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it… Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them?The North [replace with GEEKS who are mostly liberal LOL and don't forget LGBTQ who can fly planes/fighter jets, guide ships, missiles, AND speak critical languages for security!!!] can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make [yeah cuz LOUDEST rwnj (Boehner, Paul Ryan, etc.) rejoiced at outsourcing manufacturing jobs and stood by and watched banks, insurance and car companies FAIL miserably!!!].You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be [because GOP & other rwnj's have insulted our allies profusely: (health care reform, socialism, LGBTQ in military)], your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.

so, um, basically: OUTNUMBERED.

You need a history lesson and a brain......Ill pray for you... [edited to show the comprehension of Frank Wood]--> as soon as I can comprehend religion, confederacy and pick up a brain myself. You know we're not too bright. After all, we fought for a lost cause, and still think we're the majority of Americans in U.S. One day we'll have our all white country, but for now it's a dream, while we piss and moan daily about getting our asses whipped during Civil War. Dang-gammit General Sherman and his brilliant military planning and strategy. Give us another hundred years to figure something out, we just may win the next war, once we get rid of all them education books.

The monuments must come down, and today's generation knows this!

This is also why GOP opposes education!

The activists — young, old, often led by people of color but drawing from across the demographic spectrum — have faced ridicule and hostility from political leaders at all levels. Many have risked their lives when armed counterprotesters, some openly affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan and a broad range of hate groups, have fomented violence, beating protesters, torching their vehicles and worse.

Is Bling Bishop talking, to save himself, or just a coincidence? Who would have known about this, given campaign finance corruption in general, Citizens United included.

https://abc7ny.com/eric-adams-campaign-finance-scheme-mayoral-primary/13473463/

Even more shocking: prosecuted by Alvin Bragg.

"We would never tolerate these actions," the spokesperson said, adding "there is no indication that the campaign or the mayor is involved in this case or under investigation."

However, according to court papers, the mayor was aware of at least one of the fundraisers the contracted employees threw.

"(The Candidate) said he doesn't want to do anything if he doesn't get 25 Gs," one told another, according to the criminal complaint.
