Today is a significant date in the life for two luminaries of their political party.....one Republican, one Democrat.
1. John C. Frémont, in full John Charles Frémont, (born January 21, 1813, Savannah, Georgia, U.S.—died July 13, 1890, New York, New York), American military officer and an early explorer and mapmaker of the American West, who was one of the principal figures in opening up that region to settlement and was instrumental in the U.S. conquest and development of California. He was also a politician who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. presidency in 1856 as the first candidate of the newly formed Republican Party.

The very first candidate for the party formed for the specific purpose of ending slavery in the United States.
2. Nathan Bedford Forrest, (born July 13, 1821, near Chapel Hill, Tennessee, U.S.—died October 29, 1877, Memphis, Tennessee), Confederate cavalry commander in the American Civil War (1861–65) who was often described as a “born military genius.” His rule of action, “Get there first with the most men,” became one of the most often quoted statements of the war. Forrest is also one of the most controversial figures from the Civil War era. His command was responsible for the massacre of African American Union troops stationed at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, in April 1864, and he served as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in the early years of Reconstruction.

On Demcember 24, 1865, Forrest formed the military arm of the Democrat Party, the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan.
In his honor, Hollywood used his name and family association for the film, Forrest Gump.
Confederate soldiers didn't try to destroy the US. Confederate politicians didn't do that either. They just went their way, and didn't tell northern states what to do. It was northern states that were telling THEM what to do.Like every soldier he had many sides but I take your point. Which other soldiers that tried to destroy the US should we be honoring? Yamamoto maybe?
You'd be correct I think. One thing she is not is gutless. Guts for miles and miles.OP, I'd chalk you up for the KKK supporter and defender.

I seem to recall the first shot of that war was an attack on a US military base. If the rebels had succeeded the US would look very different than it does today. If Yamamoto had succeeded the US would probably look very much as it does today. So which enemy of the US should we honor?Confederate soldiers didn't try to destroy the US.

Another nice try.
Ummmm... the first shot fired was upon a Union merchant ship, the Star of the West, as it tried to deliver supplies to Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.I seem to recall the first shot of that war was an attack on a US military base.

Forrest led the last heroic charge at Battle of Shiloh. Charged the Union line alone slashing with his sabre in the middle of a group of Yankees. Someone shouted "Kill the goddamn rebel!" Union soldier stuck his rifle in Forrest side and fired, lifting Forrest up in his saddle. As Forrest rode away he grabbed a blue coat and swung him up on the back of his saddle to cover his retreat, then tossed the invader to the ground when he was through with him.Today is a significant date in the life for two luminaries of their political party.....one Republican, one Democrat.

Are we comparing that to this?
"Between 1882 and 1964, nearly five thousand people died from lynching, the majority African-American. The 1890s witnessed the worst period of lynching in U.S. history. Lynchings, often witnessed by large crowds of white onlookers, were the most extreme form of Southern [Democrat] white control over the African-American population, regularly meted out against African Americans who had been falsely charged with crimes but in fact were achieving a level of political or economic autonomy that whites found unacceptable.
The history of failed attempts to pass federal antilyching legislation goes back to 1894, when a House bill to set up a committee to investigate lynchings failed. In 1922, the House passed a bill to make lynching a Federal crime, but despite President Warren G. Harding’s support, Southern [Democrat] senators filibustered and defeated it. In 1933, [Democrat] President Franklin D. Roosevelt failed to support an antilynching bill proposed by the NAACP, fearing that key Southerners lawmakers would retaliate and interfere with his New Deal agenda. "

Nice little ADDITION of YOURS, by continually ADDING "Democrats" to the copyrighted article....
We can see through you, like plexiglass....
Here is how the ACTUAL article states it....
Between 1882 and 1964, nearly five thousand people died from lynching, the majority African-American. The 1890s witnessed the worst period of lynching in U.S. history. Lynchings, often witnessed by large crowds of white onlookers, were the most extreme form of Southern white control over the African-American population, regularly meted out against African Americans who had been falsely charged with crimes but in fact were achieving a level of political or economic autonomy that whites found unacceptable. The history of failed attempts to pass federal antilyching legislation goes back to 1894, when a House bill to set up a committee to investigate lynchings failed. In 1922, the House passed a bill to make lynching a Federal crime, but despite President Warren G. Harding’s support, Southern senators filibustered and defeated it. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt failed to support an antilynching bill proposed by the NAACP, fearing that key Southerners lawmakers would retaliate and interfere with his New Deal agenda. In February 1948, President Harry S. Truman asked Congress for federal antilynching legislation. In the following testimony to a House subcommittee, four Southern Congressmen discussed their reasons for opposing what they deemed federal interference in state judicial responsibilities and defend segregation and the “peaceful relations now existing between white man and Negro” in the South. Congressman Charles E. Bennett (Florida) also offered his historical explanation for lynching. None of the bills under consideration by the subcommittee passed.
I do see some similarities to the GOP and Trump:See if you recognize the similarity in this Margaret Mead, anthropologist, quote: The natives are superficially agreeable, but they go in for cannibalism, headhunting, infanticide, incest, avoidance and joking relationships, and biting lice in half with their teeth.
I've heard the "first shot" line many times. Congratulations! You get a prize for being the 1,000th one. The real point is 99.9% of the war was the north attacking the South, in the South, and the South fighting defensively. Get it ?I seem to recall the first shot of that war was an attack on a US military base. If the rebels had succeeded the US would look very different than it does today. If Yamamoto had succeeded the US would probably look very much as it does today. So which enemy of the US should we honor?
Oh another "first shot" comment. Oh boy. Is anybody aware of the next 99.999999999% of the war ?Ummmm... the first shot fired was upon a Union merchant ship, the Star of the West, as it tried to deliver supplies to Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.
Is this a leftist talking about infanticide ? You guys don't want to do that.
- infanticide - Trump and the GOP have tried to end people's access to healthcare and welfare
- incest - Ivanka, nuff said
- avoidance - Too many COVID-19 tests?
- joking relationships - How many times has Trump said something that was later claimed to be sarcastic or a joke?
- biting lice in half with their teeth - We all do that don't we?
I remember Bill Clinton saying he was the first black president-“Thrilled with their role as ‘white friend-of-the-blacks,’ many found that they could actually make a living at it!
I have already cancelled my account with Amazon - contributor to Black Lives Matter. BTW, why isn't everyone in BLM arrested for sedition and/or treason ?
Beautiful lady......on the outside.
Her politics show something very different.
"Black Lives Matter: Gal Gadot, Demi Lovato & more celebs join Blackout"
| PINKVILLA protest for George Floyd"
I won't be taking my children to her films any longer.
And anti-Christian.Democrats, the anti-America party, anti-police, pro-anarchy, anti-military, anti-history.
There has always been a law against MURDER.
