Are you nuts??
620,000 dead. Read that again……620,000 dead from the Civil War but it’s not enough to have killed Confederates, their existence must be purged from history. All the Memorials must be destroyed, . . .for what purpose?? To eliminate any reference to slavery??
If that’s the goal, …if that’s the objective, ..to eliminate any reference to slavery then the entire history of the world from the ancients to the moderns will have to be destroyed and made invisible in the future.
Why should the history of slavery be forgotten? Why?
Why are the descendants of slaves ashamed of their history? Why aren’t they proud to have prevailed despite the suffering and death?
The 2000 U.S. Census counted 163,036 people with the surname Washington. Ninety percent of them were African-American, a far higher black percentage than for any other common name.
Look to Israel. A modern day monument to the courage and heroism of the Jews who survived the Holocaust and as a proud memorial to those living today.
Why not honor the descendants of slaves by erecting more monuments to them like the MLK statue in Washington, DC?
Why alter history? Why not embrace it; study it; memorialize it and use it to show how to live today despite the losing sides in all the wars.
Look to Japan. A formidable enemy that has become not a nation of losers but of wonderful winners.
Look at former enemy Germany, now a bastion of freedom after two world wars.
Slavery didn’t start in America. It started in…. well, not in America and it was purposely and clearly ended in America in 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation. That’s 154 years ago. That’s eight generations ago. Child,
parents, grandparents, great grandparents, 2nd great grandparents, third great grandparents, fourth great grandparents and fifth great grandparents ago…..One child living today and going back seven generations to two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, sixteen great great grandparents up to the 5th great grandparents i 255 people who existed since the Civil War for each living person. How many were slaves?
For each black person in America today whose fifth great grandparents were alive in America in 1863 during the Civil War means there had to be a total of 128 slaves living in 1863 for one black person to claim they are the descendants of slaves. If any one of their 127 ancestors was not a slave then that one non-slave ancestor who was not a slave in America in 1863 means not all of their ancestors were slaves.
Seven generations of parents, grandparents and great grandparents since the end of slavery in America means each black person alive today had 127 ancestors who were not slaves since slavery was outlawed, made illegal 154 years ago.
Out of the total number of ancestors each black American has today a maximum of 127 could have been slaves and each black person alive today has an additional 127 ancestors who could not have been slaves at all.
But if the Confederates had not left the Union beginning in 1860, 157 years ago would Lincoln have issued the Emancipation Proclamation?
