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."

Civil War II-- 560: A Cathedral and Re-Enactors
From the September 9, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** A Confederate soldier in this Virginia town should not stand alone. Leave him, but... (Leesburg Courthouse) (Put up one honoring Blacks) Opinion. I can agree with this. I say, leave the Confederate monuments where they are, but definitely put signage with the word slavery, or, even better, honor Blacks in the area who have accomplished things.
** The removal of Confederate windows at National Cathedral was no cause for celebration. (Washington, D.C.) (Loss) Removed September 6, 2017. Lee and Jackson were very devout Christian men.
** Maine's Confederate re-enactors say they show 'history' not racism. They are in the 15th Alabama. A professor at Bates College, a black woman who chairs the African-American Studies Department says their portrayal is disgusting. Coming from a black person, i am not surprised as to her opinion.
i was at the Civil War re-enactments in Wauconda and Hainesville, Illinois, and found no protesting by Confederate re-enactors. That was refreshing.
