Watching CNN tonight, there was a debate about the State of Virginia celebrating Confederate Pride Month in April, leaving OUT the SLAVERY part of the American Negro History.
Some people find it contentious, disingenous, and an abomination.
What is your opinion on the above matter, and do you think the State of Virginia is correct in leaving out such an important factor of American History, which will, no doubt, be a role model for other states to follow? Thank you,

No, I do not!!!! That is a part of our history of the Americas. I am of caucasion heritage and that is just wrong.
There was no "treason" involved in Virginia joining the Confederacy. It was constitutionally legal and even ole Abe agreed. Read a little history and you just might learn something.

No, the joining was not the the problem. The succession was!
It really doesn't matter what people think. I am from northern parents living in the south. They are just as proud of their hertiage as are the british who practiced slavery and in fact often gathered the slaves to sell in the states.Slavery was a pretty common back then as was child labor which was often as bad .
Slavery is still alive and well in many African nations.......No one seems to complain about it's existence though.......Why do people complain about something that occurred and was abolished in the USA 135 years ago?
