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."

While We're Removing Statues-- Part 4: Even William Penn Was a Slave Owner
** FRANCISCO DE MIRANDA-- Venezuelan hero who participated in the American Revolution. Had a couple children with his housekeeper so there was a question of morals.
** AFRICA-- The statue looks more like a white woman.
** JOHN PAUL JONES-- Great American Revolution naval hero but he once killed a sailor and there was something about a 12-year-old girl.
** WILLIAM PENN-- Owned 12 slaves. (Then, of course, they will have to change the name of the state as well.)
See? You can always find something wrong with a statue if you try.
