**  Confederate heritage group fights  lawsuit to remove Tuskegee Confederate monument.  (Tuskegee, Alabama.  United Daughters of the Confederacy.)

DECEMBER 2, 2021

**  When Confederate flags flew in Seattle.  (Washington.  For the premier of the movie "Gone With the Wind."  Bet they're still embarrassed about that.)

**  Caldwell County votes to remove Confederate monument, relocate it to a museum.  (Lockhart, Texas.  And, guess who did the voting.  It sure wasn't the people. It was those county commissioners who "represent" the people, or, well, at least some of them.)

What I'd Like To See Is a List of BLM "Protest" Marches Since Floyd's Death and Which Ones Turned Into a Riot With Looting and Arson and Estimated Damage Costs

JULY 19, 2020


**  President Trump mocks Fort Bragg rebranding, defends Confederate flags.

**  Trump mocks Fort Bragg rebranding, suggests Al Sharpton's name.

**  Coronavirus, Confederate flags, and mental fitness:  Trump struggles for answers in heated interview with Fox News.

**  Amid concerns about symbols of the Confederacy, Bellingham delves into Pickett Road.  (Washington. The Southern Poverty Law Center  (SPLC) says it was named after George Pickett, the Confederate general.  It might have been named for a local landowner by the name of Pickett.  Now, of course, there are people who want the name changed because of Confederadiaction.)

**  (By the way,since the SPLC is so big into lists, when are they going to come out with a list of all cities where BLM "protest" marches took place since George Floyd was murdered.  I would also like to know in how many was there rioting, looting and arson and the estimated amounts of damage.  Come on, it's just one more list and after all, you are the experts on those lists.)

**  Colin Powell:  We need to rename Confederate-named bases 'as quickly as we can.'  (Like I said, I am also of that belief.  That's alright, Colin, everybody is entitled to their own opinion.  I'd still support you for president.)

Come On SPLC, You Can Do It.  --Old Secesh

Civil War II: Confederates in Washington State? Ole Miss, South Carolina and Virginia Schools

JULY 15, 2020


**  The Confederate legacy in Washington state.  (So, you thought that since the state of Washington was so far away from the fighting during the Civil War that it wouldn't have much, if any, Confederate situations.  Not so.  Read this.  Isn't Washington state where that city is where the mayor let rioters have part of her city for a length of time?  How long did she let them have it?)

**  Confederate statue being moved at University of Mississippi.  (At least it was not torn down by students and faculty like at UNC-Chapel Hill.)

**  Bamberg County Council votes to remove Confederate statue.  (South Carolina .  Hey, William Seaborn Bamberg had a plantation and you know what that means.  Will the city and county names be changed next?

**  2 Virginia schools will no longer be named after Confederate leaders.  (Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle School.  Hanover County is predominantly White.  While I agree that the name of any school that is named after a Confederate and predominantly Black should have the name changed, this was not necessary other than PC.)

Confederate Monuments in State of Washington

January 24, 2020

**  City to pay over $365K to cover plaintiff's attorney fees in Confederate statues case.  (Charlottesville, Va.)

November 20, 2019

**  Case dismissed for man who challenged impacts of Confederate statue outside Clinton courthouse.  (Louisiana)  This is a real good story.

**  Confederate monuments should be removed.

**  Museum exhibit in Lynchburg to display Confederate flag after consultation with community.  (Virginia)

Another Loss in Pittsboro.
