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-- 603: In the Wake of Charlottesville
From the August 14, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** In the wake of Charlottesville protests, a Kentucky mayor wants to remove Confederate statues. (Lexington) (Loss)
** The latest: Confederate group: Atlanta statue must be fixed.
** There is a good article in the Chicago Tribune by Russell Contreras "How Robert E. Lee went from hero to racist icon."
** Councilman formally calls for Baltimore's Confederate monuments to be destroyed. (Brandon Scott, a black man) (Loss)
As for myself, any politician in anyway involved with desecrating a Confederate statue or memorial would never get my vote, but their opponent sure would.
