The Second Civil War: Stone Mountain, Juneteenth, Confederate Heritage Month, Fort Monroe, Alabama and Stonewall

MAY 1, 2021

**  A black pastor's  Confederate  memorial problem.  (Stone Mountain, Ga.  He is the head of the group that runs it.)

**  Organizers offer details on Juneteenth march, rally to remove Talbot Boys Confederate memorial.  (Maryland.  So, at what point will Blacks be asking that the United States celebrate Juneteenth instead of the Fourth of July?)

**  'There is not systemic racism' says a governor who named April as Confederate Heritage Month.  (From the Washington Post.  So, that explains it.)

**  Opinion:  Fort Monroe should be focused on its history, not its name.  (Virginia.  Well, you know, James Monroe, slave owner.)

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

MAY 2, 2021

**  Alabama debates removing Confederate flag from its coat of arms. 

**  Washington County commissioners asked  to change name  of Confederate-named road.  (Stonewall Jackson.  Also looks like they might have to change name of county because, well, you know, somebody owned slaves.)

Taking a Long Look at the Alabama State Coat of Arms

I was looking at the Alabama State Coat of Arms in the picture section to the right of this and have come to the conclusion that other things need to be taken off it because they might offend some people.

Right now, there is a movement among black legislators in that state, and of course BLM, to remove the Confederate flag because it offends them.

In that case, they also need to remove the Spanish flag because the things they did to the Indians in the new world were too numerous to even get into.  France and British were also bad to the Indians.  Plus, all three countries have done bad things in their history.

Plus, eagles have been known to swoop down and grab fish and other small animals, even other birds.  Well, we can't have them either.

Then, there's that ship at the top of it with cannons.  Ships with cannons kill people on other ships and land.

Then, there is that state motto "Audemus Jura Nostra Defendere" which means "We dare to defend our rights."  Oops, they dared to defend their right to own slaves according to BLM.

So, all that has to go.

See what the NEW Alabama coat of arms will look like below.

DECEMBER 11, 2020

**  Omnibus negotiators may toss Confederate rider.   (A push to ban Confederate  symbols at national parks.  But, this may not pan out.  Let's hope not.  get rid of all things Confederate at Gettysburg and folks might begin to wonder who Union forces were fighting.)

**  Northampton takes no action on Confederate monument.  (Virginia)

**  Bill filed to remove Confederate flag from Alabama's state coat of arms.  (You think it will be removed?  I sure do.)

**  Etched in stone:  The hurt behind the heritage.

At What Point Will All Confederate Names Be Removed From History Books? Alabama, Texas, Virginia, Trump, Teaching, Oregon and Mississippi

DECEMBER 4, 2020

**  As Confederate statues fall and protests arise, Civil Rights museums are key to explaining why.

**  Alabama lawmaker moves to strike Confederate flag from coat of arms.  (A black woman.  How did they miss that.  She also wants any and everything Confederate gone.  Is that racist or what?  Wonder how long it took her to realize there was a Confederate flag on the coat or arms.  Kind of surprised no one else noticed it either.))

**  City to replace five more names dedicated to Confederate history and white supremacy.  (Austin, Texas.  Metz Park, Metz Pool, Dixie drive, Confederate  Street and Plantation Drive.)

**  Editorial:  Ordinance does not solve Confederate flag problem.   (Fredericksburg, Va.)

**  Lawmakers line up showdown with Trump over Confederate base names.

**  Editorial:  Teaching accurate, comprehensive history strengthens American society.  (As long as it is just the facts.  Today, so many of the facts are clouded by current culture.)

**  Augusta task force recommends  removing Confederate monuments, names.  (Georgia)

**  These pioneers tried  to get Confederate flag  out of Mississippi 156 years ago.
