“The Lee monument was erected (in 1884) without the use of taxpayer money. The same cannot be said for its removal using city resources, city employees, and a shroud of secrecy that's more fitting to ISIS tactics than those of the United States of America,” the statement said. “With the removal of four of our century-plus aged landmarks, at 299 years old, New Orleans now heads in to our tricentennial more divided and less historic.”

This just goes to show that the South should be given a more respectable approach in American history books. I have very happy that at least in my history classes the emphasis was to learn original documents. For me this was my most difficult class but in spite of my not doing well I think i got a good impression of the issues involved.
ReplyDeleteI think since then American history has been slanted against teh South.

The warped mayor of Southern New Orleans. How did this
ReplyDeletecountry get so many mentally ill so-called leaders. How do
these incompetent, degenerate, unAmerican types keep
becoming mayors, chief of police, governors, etc....It's
just like city councils - we the people tell them what
we want and they over-rule and do what they want. We have
a big problems with communist leadership:
