The USS Confederacy, Georgia Colleges, Black Confederates? No Confederate Flags in Christmas Parade

NOVEMBER 22, 2021

**  Historically Speaking:  Norwich's U.S. Navy frigate, the USS Confederacy.  (Imagine a ship with this name in the U.S. Navy, but it really was. Hopefully we won't have to go back into the past and change the name because it offends certain people.)

**  Georgia regents:  No college name  changes over racial history.  (A list of 75 names of buildings named after people involved with slavery, segregation or mistreatment of Indians.)

Still No New Attacks, But An Interesting Letter and the Last Time the Maryland General Assembly Was Shut Down

March 19, 2020

NO NEW ATTACKS ON CONFEDERATE STATUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder what has happened to their vim and verve in their cause to destroy history?  Oh yes, the big "V".

**  There were some letters to the editor.

**  One of the letters was about someone supposedly a black Confederate soldier named Louis Napoleon Nelson.

**  The Baltimore Sun had an article about the "V" closing the Maryland General Assembly and the last time was when one-third of its members were arrested by Union troops in 1861 as being Southern sympathizers and imprisoned at Fort McHenry.  This effectively stopped a possible secession for the state.

**  Author dismisses concept of Black Confederate soldiers.

**  Two hot topics:  a ruling regarding Confederate statues in Memphis and residency requirements.

**  Franklin's new historical markers reflect African Americans in city's Civil War legacy.
