I'll note that no, it wasn't you that wrote the article. The article while very poorly written in the end states that they are considering it, not that they are going to do it.

That noted, people must really miss the Confederacy there.

Good. Erasing history is never beneficial.

Great news! That's the county next to me. I still own 50 acres in Shenandoah County at my dad's home-place.

History isn't there for any one of us to change, but it is there for every one of us to learn from.

Well to be fair there was a lot more to the Confederacy than legal slavery. There was also a colloquial traditions standard much of which had black roots in fact. Perhaps you shouldn't broad brush Southern culture with one issue? I mean who was Colonel Sanders after all?

We were discussing the slavery aspect. To note though, I don't particularly like sweet tea either.

More importantly, the woke movement needs to know their cheap momentary victories don't hold.

Americans don't like being told what to do by a bunch of self-serving brats who threaten to burn down civilization if they don't get their way.

Me, I am thinking of a Robert E. Lee statue in my front yard.

I have a civil war chess set...should I grind off the faces of Lee and Jackson?

It's a lasting victory, trust me. Being loud bigots isn't going to gain you anything, politically.
