The Continuing Attacks on the Confederacy: Tennessee, Seal, Bust, Submarine, Flag, Context and North Dakota

FEBRUARY 18, 2021

**  State hearing  on removing Confederate flag from Williamson County seal to begin  Thursday.  (Tennessee)

**  Tennessee moves vote on Confederate bust to March.  (Forrest)

**  The first submarine to sink a warship was more deadly to its own crew than for the enemy.  (Now, this is real Civil War history, not the junk I have to write about in this blog.  Just so you know.)

FEBRUARY 19, 2021

**  South Tampa  farmer Marion  Lambert, who led effort to raise Confederate flag found dead, police say.  (Florida)

**  Alabama  bill could  prohibit adding historical context to Confederate monuments.  (It really doesn't matter since all of them on public spaces will be coming down anyway.  But the "context" messages I have seen are nothing more than people's opinions so just as well not to allow them.)

**  Confederate flag ban request leads to an update in Bismarck Public Schools policy.  (North Dakota.  One black student requested it.  All it takes is one black person to move mountains.)

Costs of Renaming Streets and Roads Should be Paid By Those Who Want Them Changed. Florida, Confederate Holidays, North Dakota, Renaming in Charlotte and John Pelham

FEBRUARY 9, 2021

**  Second Florida lawmaker seeks to end Confederate holidays.  (A white female Democratic state senator.  Imagine a Democrat being against something Confederate.  How did that happen?)

**  Bismarck Public Schools updates policy after Confederate flag ban request.  (North Dakota.  A black student made the request.  Confederates in North Dakota?)

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

FEBRUARY 10, 2021

**  Charlotte City Council unanimously votes to rename honoring Confederate soldiers, white supremacists.  (North Carolina.  The Streets:  Jefferson Davis Street,  West Hill Street, Stonewall Street, Jackson Avenue,  Phifer Avenue, Aycock Lane, Barringer Drive,  Morrison Boulevard and Zebulon Avenue.  Again, the cost involved should be paid by those who are offended and don't name them all after Blacks.)

**  NCs new efforts to scrub the stain of the Confederacy.  (A very anti-Confederate piece.)

**  So long Pelham--  Culpepper  votes to remove Confederate soldier's name.  (Virginia.  Pelham Lake)

Civil War II: Virginia, Mascot, Confederate Flags, Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Monuments

JANUARY 27, 2021

**  Supervisors accept recommendation to move  Botetourt County's Confederate monument.  (Virginia.  Will be moved a few hundred yards away from the court house to the county history museum.  A very acceptable move in my opinion.  Put one on the Virginia score.

**  Colonels no more:  South Garland High School drops Confederate mascot, adopts new campus symbol.  (Texas.  Now the Titans.)

**  Bismarck School Board gets boundary update; student asks for Confederate flag ban.  (Bismarck, North Dakota.  A black student wants it banned.)

**  Confederate statue a step closer  to returning to Hemming family.  (Jacksonville, Florida.  The statue was removed at night as is so often the case.  It stood at what was known as Hemming Park in the city, donated by Charles Hemming.)

**  Statue of Confederate general in Dalton to be relocated after protests and counter protests.  (Georgia.  Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.)

**  Madison County not backing down in battle over Confederate monument removal.  (Huntsville, Alabama.)

**  States of America:  What does America do with its Confederate monuments.
