There were roughly 490,000 slaves in Virginia in 1860. I don't know how you would reconcile that fact with a claim that a Virginia Confederate Heritage Month has nothing to do with slavery.
As an aside, I'd just be curious as to what Virginia's history month plans to do with John Brown,
who was hanged for treason against the state of Virginia, for his efforts to free the slaves.
NY, he's just another misguided soul who has chosen to believe that the civil war had nothing to do with slavery. The most laughable position in history.
Nowhere in this thread has ANYONE stated that the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery.
You said fighting in the war had nothing to do with slavery. That's just bullshit. You need to have your head examined.
i see no harm in virginia recalling its role in the war of northern aggression.

Southern Democrats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaSouthern Democrats are members of the U.S. Democratic Party who reside in the American South. In the early 1800s, they were the definitive pro-slavery wing of the party, opposed to both the anti-slavery Republicans (GOP) and the more liberal Northern Democrats.
After losing control of their party and territory in the American Civil War, and during the Republican-led Reconstruction that followed, Southern Democrats regrouped into various vigilante organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan and the White League.
After World War II, during the civil rights movement, Democrats in the South initially still voted loyally with their party. The signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, however, was the last straw for many Southern Democrats, who began voting against Democratic incumbents for GOP candidates. The Republicans carried many Southern states for the first time since before the Great Depression.
When Richard Nixon courted voters with his Southern Strategy, many Democrats became Republicans and the South became fertile ground for the GOP, which conversely was becoming more conservative as the Democrats were becoming more liberal. However, Democratic incumbents still held sway over voters in many states, especially those of the Deep South. In fact, until the 1980s, Democrats still had much control over Southern politics.
It wasn't until the 1990s that Democratic control collapsed, starting with the elections of 1994, in which Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress, through the rest of the decade. Southern Democrats of today who vote the Democratic ticket are mostly urban liberals. Rural residents tend to vote the Republican ticket, although there are a sizable number of conservative Democrats.

Comprehension is not your strong suit is it? What I SAID, was McDonnell's proclomation of Confederate Heritage month had nothing to do with slavery.
But this proclamation was about Confederate Heritage Month. It sought to educate Vriginians about their ancestors who fought in the war. 99% of whom were too poor to own a single slave. This has NOTHING to do with slavery.

Last time I checked Byrd was still the only person calling people "White *******"
LBJ had the best Southern Strategy
I wonder if Germany has a Nazi Heritage Month?
