Liberals Now Forcing Cancellations of Civil War Reenactments

The comments aren't kind. :)

This is a story you really have to read to believe.

From WCSC:
MOUNT PLEASANT, SC –
Boone Hall Plantation has decided to cancel this year’s Living History Weekend out of sensitivity to the shooting massacre of nine worshipers at Emanuel AME in downtown Charleston.
“We decided to show honor and respect to the victims of the recent tragedy and give the community time to heal,” spokesperson Rick Benthall said. “It was a difficult decision as Boone Hall’s association with this event has been long standing, but one we made and think is best on behalf of Boone Hall and the Charleston community at this time.”

  1. Can the re enactment be held in a public park? Everyone just " happen" to show up. At the same time. In civil war gear.

  2. So how would the victims of the atrocity at the Emanuel AME be disrespected by the Living History Weekend at the Boone Hall Plantation? Again, let me state that the mass murder that took place there was NOT a tragedy, it was an atrocity!. A tragedy is when a small child drowns on a family vacation. Or when an honors student is killed by a drunk driver on his graduation night. Or that sweet angel of a young lady, that every one loves comes down with terminal cancer. Those are tragedies.
    Once again the emotional need to "do some thing" over rides any common sense. The tragedy is in the cancelling of the event. Remembering our history and heritage is too important to be left to the passions of political correctness. If this is cancelled this year, what is to stop them from cancelling the event next year?
    No! Honor those who fought and died for their freedom from a tyrannical government, and did their duty as they saw it. Remember too, the War between the States in one sense has yet to end. There those who want to completely erase any thing that is Southern. A dumb and ignorant public is one that is easier to control and manipulate.

      Not a question in my mind.

  3. Better to find out who your real friends are in these times. These historical, sites have benefited greatly from the reenactors who spent their time and money supporting past events. It is time to let places like Boone Hall know that an alternate event will replace theirs -- and reenactors will not return to Boone Hall.
    Also, let other sites know that should they do the same, they'll be put on a "do not participate list.' While the Charleston tragedy is an unfortunate one, it had nothing to do with the American flag carried by Confederate soldiers. The ignorance of the people at Boone Hall will cost them dearly.

  5. where mis-education and the mis-educators reap the fruit of their labor.....teach it, preach it, say it all you can to everyone you can what the war was really about as we certainly do not get enough "air time."

    1. The Big Lie

      “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
