NOVEMBER 11, 2022

**  Confederate flag controversy spurs changes to Return Day Parade.  (Delaware)

**  Democrats protest against Confederate  flag during Return Day parade.  (Delaware.  Imagine Democrats protesting agains Confederate flags?)

**  Tense night as Montgomery board renames Lee, Jeff Davis high schools.  (Alabama.  Again, if the majority of the students are Blacks in these schools I completely back renaming the schools.  Both are renamed for Blacks.  Why does all renaming have to be for black people?  Are Blacks the only ones who deserve schools to be renamed for?)

The Second Civil War: Alabama, North Carolina, Arkansas, Maryland and Georgia

SEPTEMBER 6, 2022

**  Alabama superintendent fights to remove Confederate school names.  (Montgomery, Alabama.  Three schools still have Confederate names.  I wonder if the superintendent is a black person or white person?)

**  White supremacists  launch threats after bulldozing Confederate monument.  (North Carolina.  Like I said before.  There are idiots on both sides.  The mayor should not have threats made on him, but definitely should be recalled and if that doesn't work, defeated in the next election.  That's the American way.)

**  Fort Smith's request to stop flying Confederate flag will go before Arkansas History Commission.

**  3 Naval Academy name changes  recommended due to Confederate ties.  (Annapolis, Maryland)

**  SPLC  to screen movie, discuss Confederate monuments  Saturday.  (Montgomery, Alabama.  Do you think it wil be pro-Confederate or racist?)

**  Baltimore's 4 Confederate monuments to be part of Los Angeles art show.  (These monuments should have been given to the SCV or UDC.  I'm sure they will be shown in a negative light.)

**  Duluth  community, school district responds after student brought a c(C)onfederate flag to Denfeld.  (Denfeld HighSchool, Duluth, Minnesota.)

**  California's absurd focus on slavery reparations.  (California reparations?  Get serious folks.)

**  Shenandoah County School Board votes against restoring c(C)onfederate  school names.  (Virginia.  Thus avoiding a SPLC list.)

Asheville, N.C. Reparations. No USS Brooke for Navy, About Those Black Schools

JULY 19, 2020

**  (Seriously, I heard that Asheville, N.C., has agreed to pay reparations to Blacks for slavery.  I'd recommend $5,000,000 to every black person, guys and gals. That'd about cover their pain and agony.)

**  Navy says 'absolutely' no chance new warship will be named after  former Confederate Navy  officer.  (USS Brooke and a new class of frigates.  However, there was already a USS Brooke named for that officer which operated from 1966 to 1988.  It was the lead ship of the class.  John Mercer Brook was a U.S. Navy officer who joined the Confederacy.)

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

JULY 20, 2020

**  Confederate names  don't belong on Montgomery's Black schools, social justice group says.  (Alabama.  I agree with them.  If the majority of a school's students are Blacks, the name should come off immediately.  However, the cost of name change should be borne by those who want it changed.  No public money should be spent.

I also noticed it was Black schools in the headline.  Is this a new way Blacks want to be referred to?  I always thought that Black, when used as an adjective, was not capitalized.  You know, black people, white people.)

**  Trump calls Confederate flag 'freedom of speech,' gives heated response on police brutality.

**  Montgomery School Board votes to change the Confederate names of three high schools.  (Alabama.  Jefferson Davis, Robert E.Lee and Sydney Lanier high schools.  Again, if the majority of the students are Blacks, change the name and it would be good to have them renamed after a black person.)

**  Trump focuses on  whites killed by police, defends Confederate flag.

**  Some of Richmond's  Confederate statues being stored at waste water treatment plant.  (Sad Richmond.  Really, mayor?  At least as of this date I don't know that he has ordered the statues immersed.  But sure wouldn't be surprised with his mindset.

And, I am hoping the mayor and city will at least have the decency to repair and clean those statues they let be attacked by the BLMers.)

The third one was Danville, Virginia, which was the capital for a very short time after the Confederate government fled from Richmond.   Interesting.

**  Book Review:  "Life in Jefferson Davis' Navy."  Review of a new book on the Confederate Navy.  Anything Navy is my primary interest in the First Civil War.  Real Civil War history.
