Those that think the Civil War is a long-gone war with no ramifications today couldn't be any more wrong.
Certain aspects of the war have been in the news a lot these days. The primaries in South Carolina have brought forth the old Confederate flag controversy. Lee-Jackson celebrations were held throughout the south and even outside of Chicago. In three states, the Lee birthday observance occurs on the same day as the Martin Luther King, Jr., one.
Then there was the defacement of the Confederate monument on the Alabama state capitol grounds which was done by three white teenagers.
