Canada, SPLC Again and South Carolina

FEBRUARY 1, 2022

**  Man with c(C)onfederate flag told to leave by Ottawa truckers: 'We called him out.'  (Canada)

**  SPLC launches third edition of whose heritage?  Report tracking Confederate memorials and their removals across the United States.  (Talk about your super-racist groups, that SPLC is right there.)

**  Legislators try to remove Orangeburg statue;  Confederate monument bill passes senate.  (South Carolina)

**  Anti-vax convoy leader  says he welcomes protesters  displaying 'Confederate flags' in Ottawa.  (Canada)

Sad R. Does It Again. African Art Replaces Confederate Statue, Maryland and Stone Mountain

JANUARY 25, 2022

**  Unanimous vote:  Richmond Confederate monuments going to black history museum.  (Another reason to boycott Sad R.  I can't imagine a worse place for our heritage to go.  There will be no respect there, no matter what the good old Post has to say.)

**  Simone   Leigh statue of African deity installed at site of former Confederate monument in New Orleans.  (And tell me, what does this have to do with me.  I worship no African deities.  Simone Leigh is a black artist.))

**  Opinion:    How many Marylanders fought for the rebels  was overstated.  (Again, consider the source, the Washington Post.)

**  Stone Mountain  leaders grappling with business losses at the park's resort hotel.  (Georgia.  It's that Confederate thing, you know.  And, of course, that virus thing.)

The Virus Stops Confederate Attacks

March 20, 2020

Let's enjoy this moratorium.  At least one thing comes out of these days.  Those Confederate-attackers are too busy with "V" to go after the monuments and memorials.

Again, the only things in the news about Confederate statues are letters to the editor.

Still No New Attacks, But An Interesting Letter and the Last Time the Maryland General Assembly Was Shut Down

March 19, 2020

NO NEW ATTACKS ON CONFEDERATE STATUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder what has happened to their vim and verve in their cause to destroy history?  Oh yes, the big "V".

**  There were some letters to the editor.

**  One of the letters was about someone supposedly a black Confederate soldier named Louis Napoleon Nelson.

**  The Baltimore Sun had an article about the "V" closing the Maryland General Assembly and the last time was when one-third of its members were arrested by Union troops in 1861 as being Southern sympathizers and imprisoned at Fort McHenry.  This effectively stopped a possible secession for the state.

The Moratorium Evidently Continues.  --Old Secesh

Maybe the Virus Has Become a Bigger Problem Than Those Confederate Monuments and Flags

Considering that the earlier post of today didn't have any articles directly related to the current struggle over all things Confederate on March 15, I am hoping that at least there will be a temporary, or better yet, cessation of the attacks.  I'll know when I take a look at the March 16 and 17 articles.

I know I sure would like to stop doing this blog.  I have seven others that I do, and that is way too many.  Plus, I tend to get a bit angry when I do this blog.

So, maybe there is something good coming of the virus.

If That What It Takes?  --Old Secesh
