CONFEDERATE HOLIDAY WORTH REMEMBERING
From the Greensboro, N.C. News & Review.
May 10 is Confederate Memorial Day in the Carolinas, but isn't celebrated much anymore.
It is a day for remembering those who died for the South, not celebrating some delusion of white supremacy or a glorious Lost Cause. The Confederacy became the Confederacy wasn't all that glorious.
Here are some facts about the Confederacy:
1. The South was deeply divided and in North Carolina, the mountains and Piedmont areas were particularly pro-Union (as were parts of most other Southern states).
2. Lincoln and Davis were really unpopular presidents of their sides.
More to Come. --Old Secesh
