States with Most Confederate Memorials

DECEMBER 20, 2022

**  States with most Confederate memorials.  (73 Confederate monuments were removed or renamed in 2021.  There are still 723 of them left.   This has to really upset SPLC and the Washington Post.))

**  West Point commences remediation efforts.  (There are 13 Confederate assets and memorabilia that need to be removed.  Personally, I would like to see the Confederate Armstron cannon captured at Fort Fisher and on display at the Point's Trophy Point returned to the fort.  I could definitely live with that.  Hey, after all it is CONFEDERATE!!)

Civil War II: Fort Fisher, $62 Million for Renaming, Navy Ship Renaming

SEPTEMBER 13, 2022

**  Fort Fisher could join Fort Bragg in getting  new, non-Confederate  namesake.  (North Carolina.  They won't be renaming the actual fort, which was built during the war.  They are looking at renaming the Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area in Kure Beach.)

**  Erasing Confederate items from U.S. military will cost $62 million, panel says.  (Again, let those who the names changed pay for it.)

**  Panel advises removal of Confederate statue at Arlington.  (Arlington National Cemetery)

**********************

SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

**  Navy should rename warship that honors Confederate victory, commission recommends.    (USS Chancellorsville  (CG-62))

**  Commission recommends renaming two Navy ships  with Confederate ties.  (The Chancellorsville and the USNS  Maury (T-AGS-66)

Fort Robinson Has a Good Ring to It. Hey, Return the Armstrong Gun to Fort Fisher. What to Do With Those Sad Richmond Statues

AUGUST 4, 2020


**  Army should rename  Texas' Fort Hood for baseball pioneer Jackie Robinson.  (At first, I thought absolutely not.  But then I read that he had been an officer in the Army during World War II and had to battle segregation and racism there as well.  He is a very deserving man.  And, along with Colin Powell as a name for the Confederate bases, I'd support the change right away.  Otherwise, when they change the base names I would like any that will be renamed for Blacks to have a five year wait as tempers are too frayed right now.)

**  Gillibrand urges removal of Confederate symbols at West Point.  (Democrat New York senator and white woman.  Hey, Senator, how about removing that 150-pounder Armstrong cannon at West Point as it was a captured Confederate weapon.  I know a great place to send it to in North Carolina.)

************************************


August 5, 2020

**  Richmond City Council to accept offers for possession of Confederate monuments.  (Sad Richmond has decided not to put the statues up elsewhere in the city.  Now the only one remaining is of A.P. Hill.  Also there is the question of what to do with the pedestals they were on.

They should offer them to the SCV or UDC.  But the city, or better yet, the mayor or BLM, should pay for repairs and cleaning along with moving and new location expenses.  Personally, I would like every single thing to do with the Confederacy out of this place, especially since I don't think I'll ever even drive through there again.  Traffic is horrendous anyway and now the city has done this.   And, they should just turn the American Civil War Museum into an American Black Experience museum which is essentially what it is anyhow.)

Just have history books say that the Confederate capital was moved somewhere northward.  Don't even mention the name.

Even then, however, comes the problem of protecting them from BLM in their new locations.

JUNE 28, 2020

**  Mississippi poised to replace state flag featuring Confederate war emblem.

**  Trump denounces  protesters tearing down statues, as Confederate monuments are targeted.

**  Ricchard Groves:  The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.  (No kidding.  I heard this song by the Band a few days ago and couldn't help but have a tear in my eye.  This is the second time they drove old Dixie down.  The first was in 1865.  This song has taken on a whole new meaning for me of late.)

**  NWF Confederate memorials --  remove them or keep them?

More Venom from the NY Times, The Final End of the Lost Cause, West Point, NCAA and More Flags

JUNE 20, 2010

**  Why is the GOP fighting to preserve monuments to traitors in the Capitol?  (From the New York Times.  Not a surprising slant from them.  The Times and Washington Post seem to be the two newspapers with the most Confederate hatred venom.)

**  The controversy surrounding the removal of Confederate statues.

**  Rep. Mahoney asks Army to remove Confederate symbols at West Point.  (I'd like to see them remove that 150-pound Armstrong cannon the U.S. Army captured at Fort Fisher, N.C., and return it to that site.  Come on Rep. Mahoney!!!!)

**  Editorial:  The final end of the Lost Cause.  (You can say that again.  George Floyd "done" us in.)

**  NCAA bans Mississippi championships over Confederate symbol in state flag.  (They won't have any NCAA championships in the state.  Maybe they should be more interested in all the cheating that occurs in their Power Five conferences, though.)

**  Athens County Fair Board should ban Confederate flags.
