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-- 604: Again, You Desecrate a Confederate Statue, That Is a Hate Crime
From the August 14, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** It's time to stop coddling the Confederacy. (Yahoo Sports) (Sports...Really) Why is there air? To blow up footballs with!!
** How Charlottesville hasn't yet changed he Confederate monument debate. I would have to greatly disagree with this statement. We are many times worse off for it. I rank it right up there with the Charleston murders as rallying points for the Confederate haters.
** Take the statues down. (Atlantic Magazine) (Loss)
** Confederate statues vandalized in (l)ouisville. (Kentucky) It was the statue of John Breckenridge Castleman erected in 1913. He was a major in the Confederate Army and later a brigadier general in the U.S. Army. He had a lot to do with the development of (l)ouisville and especially its parks.
(l)ouisville is lower case for its shame as being the first major Southern city to desecrate a Confederate statue.
When Are We Going To Stop Calling it Vandalizing? It Is Nothing But a Hate Crime. Let's Call It Like It Is. --Old Secesh
