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-- 575: VMI Says They'll Keep Their Confederate Statues
From the September 13, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** Battle grows over Confederate remnants. ((t)ampa, Fla.) (Loss) Now want to rename R.E. Lee Elementary School. Again, I have no problem with that if the majority of the students are Blacks.
** Another city could furl state flag with the Confederate emblem. (Meridian, Ms) (Loss) The state flag is not flown at all eight state universities.
** Virginia military college to keep its Confederate statues. (Virginia Military Institute) (Win) With their history, taking them down would have been ridiculous.
** Liberty man places 'Slaves 4 Sale' sign over Confederate Flag to reject racism label. He had been criticized for flying the flag. He said he wasn't a racist. I can't think of a dumber or worse thing he could have done.
Way to Go, VMI!! --Old Secesh
