My family fought in the Revolution against England.
Actually most "southern" states have state holidays that commemorate their dead. Memorial Day from it's inception was to honor those who died fighting for the United States of America. It's just become PC to include traitors who fought against the country. Benedict Arnold Day will be next.
ABE and the Northern Yankees betrayed the U.S. Constitution just as Truman, IKE, LBJ, and NIXON betrayed the U.S. Constitution.
All, including the soldiers, committed treason on these and the United States.
None of the above listed had Constitutional Authority to engage in the Civil War, the Korean War, or Vietnam, etc.
Sarene ... Your threads are beginning to get rather ridiculous ... Don't you have anything that's more substantial to discuss rather than hurling these petty insults against Obama? You are only making yourself look foolish.
Just change the name and you have my opinion of this thread as well.

My family has been in this country since the late 1600s and in Richland County since 1741. I had two relatives I can trace who fought in the Revolution, and my Great-great grandfather was Captain Henry Williamson Dixon of the 6th S.C. Regiment. He served at the Second Manassas and was wounded in the shoulder by a sniper in Richmond.
My family never owned slaves. They were merchants for years and had a general store in Columbia. GG Grandpa joined because of peer pressure (Literally every young man who was able bodied went. The University had to shut down because of a lack of students) and because he was bored with working in the store. Whether he had any grand political ambitions or any overwhelming desire to Save The South is doubtful.
I was raised with the CBF flying over the State House in Columbia (where it was placed in the 60s as a response to the passage of Federal Civil Rights legislation) and a klan member for a step-grandfather.
GG Grandpa fought honorably for the Southern Cause whether or not he believed in it.
It was an economy based on agriculture.. How is that morally bankrupt? There must have been something else involved, considering that many freed slaves went right back to the plantations they worked at before, with a few leaving for cities.. Yet the economy was still in the crapper. The South did have a chance of winning, on several occasions actually.. Might want to read some history.. But I suppose that isn't your forte.
Some people don't have to be called ignorant, they wave that banner proudly themselves!!
How about you read some history AND sociology books and you'll have an idea why some slaves were FORCED back onto the plantation, slave..share cropper, different name same life.
