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."

And, the New War Continues-- Part 5: Get Your Facts Right, Mayor
Said the mayor, "We will honor our history, we will respect the dead. We make sure our legacy is to tell the truth and to remove evidence of racist historical revisionism.
"We will use the story of these monuments to tell the truth about a century of Jim Crow, economic oppression and those like the UDC and the Ku Klux Klan who spread their lies far beyond the boundaries of the rebellious states. It's time for education. It's time for people to learn the history of the nation."
Looks like it's time for the mayor to learn something about the nation's history and not just jump on the bandwagon after Charleston and Charlottesville. Comparing the UDC to the Klan or an ultra-racist group is like calling the DAR racist.
The men who are buried there in Madison were fighting to protect their homes and families from invaders. These men being enlisted, probably very few if any even owned a slave.
Maybe the mayor should stop reading what the racist group Southern Poverty Law Center writes about in regards to the Confederacy.
It is so surprising that the Confederacy was held in high regard all these years until recently. And now, let's talk about revisionism as the mayor said. Who's doing the revising?
