#13 ...but the southern 'elites' had no problem sending their brethren to death for their power and social standing just like ours today for their causes. The poor line doggies fought for their tribe. The same tribes you see in the fall on Saturday or Sunday for their 'teams'. |

#12 i visited Shiloh several times. Ky brother vs brother. Once pictured myself in a charge on the hornets nest and throwing myself in a depression to escape gunfire. no hero I. The war was not necessary. Slavery is wrong and would have ended on economic grounds had South Carolina not fired on Ft Sumter. |

#10 The racial animus of the collective power elites behind the Puppet-Show farce emanates from Champ and his minions, and the soul-less apparatchiks who constantly push racism to cow objections to obvious tyranny. It is a power tactic of the Marxists at home, and in Peking to harness the minority victimhood pressure-point and poke ignorant white-guilt endlessly. Race-baiting keeps an essential voting block tethered to the plantation of dependency that is the Demokrat Party coalition. In this specific case however it is more personal. Somewhere deep in his musings, I think BHO muttered about this monument as a source of individual irritation and symbolic insult, perhaps even echoed by Big Mike. This is too obscure a place, too inside the beltway, to warrant such hatred on the national stage. This is meant to remedy a perceived insult to someone who was forced to be proximate to it during ceremonial events at a place full of dead people they secretly dispise! |

#8 ^^^ Now that there is publicity, we will never know. It was some nameless, faceless bureaucrat, who would only make her name known if she could be sure that the New York Times would write wonderful things about her. Now that that hasn't happened, and now that there is pushback, the name will be buried deep in the bureaucratic muck and mire. |

#6 War Declared: States Secede from the Union! Following the election of President Abraham Lincoln, South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860, becoming the first state to do so. Other states soon followed suit and America would never be the same… Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th president of the United States in 1860, and later inaugurated in 1861. His election was a sectional victory, winning none of the southern states. This was the final straw for many Southerners, as they feared that his presidency would result in the end of their way of life. On December 20, 1860, South Carolina declared their secession from the United States of America. Within the next six months, ten other southern states would secede from the Union: Mississippi - January 9, 1861 Florida - January 10, 1861 Alabama - January 11, 1861 Georgia - January 19, 1861 Louisiana - January 26, 1861 Texas - February 1, 1861 **April 12, 1861, the Civil War begins with the attack of Fort Sumter.** |

#4 Pretty soon we can argue the civil war never happened and slavery is an old wives tale about poor African imported workers. |
