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-- Part 607: Austin and Charlottesville
From the March 1, 2018, Google Alerts for Confederate.
Just in case you think all the Confederate-haters have taken a break from their desecrations. They haven't.
** Austin leaders debate Confederate names after AISD removes names. (Texas) (AISD is Austin Independent School District) And, you know how any debate about this will end up. Not favorable to the Confederacy. The school district is changing names of schools.
Personally, I welcome the changing of any Confederate-named school which is primarily Black.
** Shroud pulled from Charlottesville Confederate statues, following ruling. (Virginia) (Win) A circuit court judge has ordered it. Lee and Jackson statues. The city shrouded the statues after the August incident as a show of mourning. The judge said the mourning period is over.
Wonder how long it will before certain groups "vandalize" the statues.
