The traitors rebelled due to slavery. I have an excerpt from the VPs cornerstone speech March 21, 1861.

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea ; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man ; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. [

"Cornerstone Speech" by Alexander Stephens in Savannah, Georgia, March 21, 1861

It was always about slavery and states rights were about the right to enslave other people.

Alex Parsons started a change.org petition on June 11, asking Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee House and Senate to consider replacing confederate monuments with statues of Dolly Parton.

"Tennessee is littered with statues memorializing confederate officers," Parsons wrote in the petition. "History should not be forgotten, but we need not glamorize those who do not deserve our praise. Instead, let us honor a true Tennessee hero, Dolly Parton."

Jesus you muppets cannot even google. Ulysses S. Grant owned slaves you ignorant fuck.

But more to the point that history has nothing to do with the current political structure. Only the GOP carries water and employs white nationalists *right now.*
Well, maybe they do not believe in google since it is owned by alphabet. Since you need the alphabet to spell blm they probably use that to tie google to blm.

And Louisiana can replace theirs with Stormy Daniels.
Did you just compare Dolly Parton with Stormy Daniels? I can think of a few DP fans that would have your head for that. And maybe vice versa.

Stormy Daniels' twitter feed is a delight -- you would have thought Trump supporters would have learned by now that trying to slut-shame her is not going to end well (and a moment's thought might tell them that slut-shaming a famous porn star is probably easier said than done).

I feel pretty confident claiming that in a Venn diagram of Dolly Parton fans and Stormy Daniel Twitter followers, the overlap is pretty thin.

I want to burn some confederate flags outside of the Trump rally in Tulsa. However other people in the community are trying to talk me out of it. I really want to drive those Trump fans into a frenzy!

KKK was all Democrat because it was formed from resentful ex confederate southerners who were all democrats, this is american history where i come from, i'm a yankee, name a single republican who owned slaves. By the way I like to remind my European friends who brought the slave to north america, as long as we were a nation every effort was made to get rid of the institution.
You seriously think you are educating anyone in this forum with your little history lessons?

You are like Trump saying “Not many know ______” when he means he just found out something that is common knowledge.
