They don't like it. It reminds them of all the bad things people have done. I've often found when bringing up history and the atrocities that people have been capable of (I especially love Medieval history), that it makes others uncomfortable and they try to disassociate anything that goes on now from what has gone on before now. But the thing is, it's really all the same, just a different day.<BR/><BR/>I'm from the south. North Carolina actually, and there are a lot of people, some in my family who really are interested in the Civil War. They like to read about it and go to reenactments and stuff. In fact, a bunch of my ancestors fought for the confederacy. I'm neither ashamed nor proud of that. I think that they were a product of their time, I did not live then, and so I do not know who I would have sided with had I been in their situation. <BR/><BR/>I've learned that in any conflict, no side is a saint. Both sides were wrong, the south for allowing slavery, and the north was wrong too, especially after the war, for the way they handled reconstruction, and for the way they treated blacks who came north after the war. They weren't exactly the modicum of progressiveness. They were racists as well.<BR/><BR/>The civil war was a tragedy, so many people died. And it continues to be a tragedy, because so many over simplify the entire ordeal and have it boil down to a matter of race and slavery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-84540767277256605762009-02-13T09:05:00.000-06:002009-02-13T09:05:00.000-06:00For the record, General Beauregard, leading profes...For the record, General Beauregard, leading professional troops from Charleston, SC, demanded the surrender of the Federal garrison at Fort Sumpter. When the Federal commander didn't surrender, the South Carolinians attacked. <BR/><BR/>These were the first shots of the Civil War: southern batteries shelling a Union fortification. This was not "northern aggression."

I get so mad when I see things like this. I hate all of those, Civil War (maybe war of Southern Agression) pro-confederate people who run around saying "It's heritage, not hate." Bull hockey. Their ancestors were TRAITORS to the US government, and whether slave owning or not, were committed to a cruel, sick, explotative, inhumane treatment of their fellow humans. What in the world is there to celebrate about that?! They shold be ASHAMED and not even bring it up. In Germany they would NEVER let a bunch of buffons run around today celebrating Nazi's saying it was part of their heritage, so why does this stand here? SO ANNOYING. <BR/><BR/>Years ago I went on a tour of "haunted" places in Alexandria, VA and the tour guide obviously seeing me and my other 2 black friends, mentioned upon showing us the home or grave or something of Robert E. Lee that he was a fan of the confederacy! I was furious. I didn't say anything at the time (young and foolish) but I did write a scathing note to the company that did the tour about it, they gave me a refund, but the brazeness of it! One of my black friend's wasn't even upset by that! How can you be a fan of people who tried to destroy the United States? One word, RACISM. If anyone tried to pull somethng like that today and disrespect the nation over anything but mistreating and exploiting blacks or some other minority, your Rep would be in a tizzy but it was ok when it was his soda biscuit ancestors?
