The Second Civil War: North Carolina License Plates, Tennessee, KKK, Florida Holidays, Massachusetts

MARCH 9, 2021

**  Group sues NC over end of Confederate license plate.  (North Carolina Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV).  Of course, if the SCV plate is not allowed, someone should take a look at the license plates of certain fraternities and sororities.  Must be fair you know.)

**  In Baltimore, Harriet Tubman honored where Confederate statues once stood.  (Not that Harriet Tubman doesn't deserve recognition, but putting her statue where the Confederate ones were is just rubbing salt into the wound.  Put it elsewhere.  I also believe that the Arthur Ashe statue and that one at the art museum in Sad R. should be removed from what used to be Monument Avenue.  The art museum one should go inside and Ashe placed elsewhere.  The name Monument Avenue should also be stricken and no monuments put up there in the future.  Turn it into a park, but without a black name.)

**  Special prosecutor  to determine future of investigation into Richmond mayor's removal of Confederate monuments.  (Sad R..  That removal contract given to one of the mayor's political contributors is highly questionable.  Like they said, something stinks in Sad R..)

**  Judge:  I-64 Confederate flagpole not a monument.  (Virginia.  120-foot pole flying a 30-by-50-foot flag.  Obviously BLM folk want it down so trying to find legal way to take it down.  At least they are not actively trying to destroy it as is usually the case.)

Fort Sill, Weatherford, KU, Streets, Will Dismukes and Billy Graham

JULY 30, 2020


**  Fort Sill -- Could it become Fort Truman.  (Harry Truman posted here before he went off to WW I.  Probably not because it is named for Union brigadier general Joshua Woodrow Sill.  Article gives when Confederate-named bases came into being and possible new names.

Another thing, BLM may decide Fort Sill needs to be renamed for a black person.  In that case it just might be renamed.  How about Fort Tubman or Fort Douglass?)

**  Parker County commissioners  vote to keep Confederate statue.  (Weatherford, Texas   There were violent clashes over it already.  I am shocked that another group of politicians stood up to BLM.)

**  KU expert advocates renaming of Confederate  named US military posts.  (As in Kansas University.  So surprising that a college professor would say something like this.  About as surprising as a BLMer saying something like that.)

**  Confederate monuments:  General Albert Pike joined in an effort to expel free blacks from Arkansas.

**  More than fifty Williamson County streets named for Confederates.  (Tennessee.  Of course, this is really a hit list for BLM.)

About That Memphis Thing With Nathan Bedford Forrest-- Part 1

From the May 12, 2020, Fox 13 News (Memphis, Tn.)  Remains of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest to be removed from Health Sciences Park" by Greg Coy.

Surprisingly, the news segment just said he was a Confederate general and that he was a former slave trader.  Probably the first time I've ever seen a news article not mentioning that he was a founder of the KKK.  I was shocked.

The remains if Confederate general and former slave trader Nathan Bedford Forrest  and his wife will leave Memphis for good.  Exactly when is not known because of the COVID-19 situation.

His family and supporters and the group that operates the park have reached an agreement.  The lawsuit about his remains is over.  A spokesman for Forrest's family has told Fox News that the bodies will be taken to a place near to where the general was born.

This argument in Memphis has been extremely divisive.

His remains and those of his wife were buried in what is now known as Health Sciences Park in 1904, not in the cemetery as was directed by his will.  The park was known as Forrest Park until recently.

The Ultra Left Plans SCV Protest, School Name Change

February 26, 2020

**  Sons of Confederate Veterans conference hits Raleigh this weekend.  (Considering the source, The Progressive Pulse,  you know where the "HITS" comes from.  A coalition of local anti-racist organizations called Smash Raleigh Racism is organizing a protest event  across from the convention site.  It appears this group just recently formed to have this protest.

Kind of interesting what they had to say in the Progressive Pulse:  "The Sons of Confederate Veterans  are a white supremacist  organization with ties to the KKK, League of the South,  and other violent fascist groups."

Oh, well.   Here's hoping these folks don't disrupt the SCV Division meeting as they plan.  And, that they don't do anything illegal.

**  Should Orlando school named for Confederate general change its name.  (Florida--  Stonewall Jackson Middle School.  The website already refers to it just as Jackson Middle School.)  The site had a poll as to whether the name should be changed.  So far, 74% say no.  In 2017, the school board voted to change the name of Robert E. Lee Middle School to College Park Middle.
