This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

It Isn't Over, the Despicable Attacks on Confederate Heritage Continue-- Part 1
Many people may think all this anti-Confederate hatred has run its course, at least around here in northern Illinois, because you don't hear much about it. But, believe me, it is NOT over in the least.
I get a Google Alert for the word Confederate every day. I usually don't read it though because I get too angry. But once a month now I will give just the headlines from those alerts. I'll do it for today and the two days before it.

** Mississippi, the only state with a Confederate symbol in its flag, is offering a new flag design on it.
** 2 men arrested for putting KKK hoods on Confederate statues.
** School marks Confederate Memorial Day with lynching teach-in.
** Laramie County School District banning Confederate flags, allowing rainbow flags. This is a poll and you can vote on what you think.
** Confederate commander's distant relative opens eyes with new book. (Robert E. Lee)
** Statues of Johnny cash and Daisy Bates will replace Confederate statues in U.S. Capitol.
