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."

Heritage Attacks Continue--
JUNE 22, 2012
The SCV was raising money to put four replica Civil War cannons in Memphis' Confederate Park. They had already raised $72,000 and needed $3,000 more. Of course, there was opposition from certain groups against anything Confederate and they even wanted the name of the park changed. (Guess they got their wish last month.)
JULY 8, 2012
Las Cruces, NM, Mayor Ken Miyagishima was upset that the Las Cruces Tea Party had a float in the 4th of July parade honoring the area's history with flags. And one of then was, you know what. The float had a variety of different flags representing various groups. "The Las Cruces Tea Party can believe whatever it wants, but to have that symbol and what it represents..." Hey. Ken, guess what, Confederates once were in your town. The guy needs to read up on his town's history.

Work on the monument to Nathan B. Forrest and Confederate soldiers in Selma, Alabama, was halted because some people were upset.
