Police move in after opposing demonstrators clash at Georgia Confederate monument
If they are brandishing a Confederate flag, the people who fought to bring down present day American government, then they are by all accounts betraying their country. It is a spit in the face to every soldier who fought and died for America.
The South never fought to bring down the American Government. They fought to form their own Country. There is a big difference.
No Southerner ever betrayed his country. Every former American officer who fought for the South, resigned his commission
first and returned to his Home State to help defend them from invasion from the North.
As far as your nonsense about spitting in the face of evry soldier who has fought and died for America..... you have zero clue
what you are talking about. In Vietnam there were as many Confederate flags flying as American flags.
The Revolutionary War was won in the South...not the North. Southern Militias with some help from the Continentals drove
Cornwallis and the Brits out of the South, then they went North to help force General Howe out of New York City.
The American Officer who raised the American flag over the Mexican fortress in Mexico City ending the Mexican War
was Lt George Pickett. The best strtegists in the Mexican War who foudnways around 3 Mexican choke points between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City was CPT Robert E. Lee...who's Daddy is buried at West Point being considered
Washington's greatest Cavalry Officer..."Light Horse" Harry Lee.
Major John Armisted who's nephew was a brigae commandr in Pickett's Division and who achieved the high water mark
of the Confederacy when his men advanced 50 yards pass the stone wall at Cemetery Ridge (Lewis Armisted)
John Armisted commanded Ft McHenry in the War of 1812, and will always be remembered as the guardian of the
original Star-Spangled Banner.
And in the Spansih-American War, it was President McKinley who named Joe Wheeler to command all American
Cavalry Units in Cuba. Wheeler was second in command to Bedford Forrest in the Confederate Army of the West.
Not only was Wheeler victorious in Cuba and the San Juan Heights, but after the Spaniards were forced from Cuba,
McKinley promoted Wheeler from Maj Gen to Lt Gen and sent him to the Pacific to command all American
forces in the Phillipines.
Without the men of the South this Country would still be answering to King George III.
