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-- 564: Confederate Rally Planned for Richmond on September 16
From the September 10, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** Booker wins support for his push to remove Confederate statues from Capitol.
** Stonewall Jackson window memorialized at black church in Virginia. (Roanoke) Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. They seem to want it to remain because Jackson was a man of Christ who led Bible study for his slaves and taught them to read and write, although that was illegal in the prewar South.
** Is it time to tear down monuments to the Confederacy?
** Committee for Augusta NAACP chapter to investigate Confederate monuments' history. (Georgia) At least, so far, they are not DEMANDING they be torn down.
** Richmond police prepare for clash as a Confederate group plans rally at Robert E. Lee statue. (Virginia) This coming weekend, September 16. The Confederate group is CSA II: The New Confederate States of America. There is fear that it will result in another Charlottesville.
Sure Hope the Richmond Rally Doesn't Become Another Charlottesville. --Old Secesh
