I was born in the South and grew up in a border state; the Stars and Bars should be buried and done with!
Nostalgia for what never was is known as propaganda when kept alive for political currency.
Appomattox should have settled the deal. We need another Sherman...

I was under the impression that the war originally occurred over whether or not states have the right to secede from the Union. As stated up thread, the slavery issue came to bear after the war had begun. It was a major factor for sure, but hardly the only one.
You want a real example of glorifying slavers and mass murderers, look into the life history of Mr. Chris Columbus.

I don't get that intelligent people in South Carolina put up with that Rebel Flag incorporated in the design of the state flag. In the battle of Gettysburg alone, 53,000 men died. The south lost 28,000 and the north lost 23,000 in a three day battle. That rebel flag represents 200 + years of human suffering under slavery-The North won the war- someone should tell South Carolina, and in deference to the men who died and the men that won the war-they need a new design-history lesson.. right..South Carolina's flag is offensive to say the least, and racist.

The Confederacy fought the Civil War so that a few southern aristocrats like Robert (religious fanatic) E. Lee could maintain their famously privileged lifestyles. The fact that this lifestyle could only be maintained with the dehumanization of an entire race of people somehow slipped thru their "christian" moral filter.
The war could only be fought on the backs of poor whites who were nearly as far away from the genteel lifestyle of their generals as the slaves who made it possible.
An interesting parallel today is the way the Republican Party gets poor whites to vote for policies which are clearly against their best interests.

Tarzan spewed f that whole war thing was to free slaves, and 500,000 white people died to free them, why haven't they done more with that opportunity?

secession...sorry couldn't help it. There was a clue in the post you cited.
I decided to check back in...train wreck. Stamping out overt racism by posting threats on a rock climbing site. I still say troll. Designed to inflame.

Wow, the US Civil War wasn't about slavery?
And physics based models that can't predict the future with 100% accuracy are useless... or worse, tools of a vast liberal conspiracy?
sketch is a certified fukwad. One of the dumbest of the dumb asses. Sounding more and more like blahblahblah, TGT, or skipt.
La Verkin is full of some of the worst racists around, rivaling northern ID/MT. I spent a summer there as a yoot. Fuk those guys.
