Hi Ken,

  I was just making a funny. To be honest the Civil War and the Confederacy
are history - you don't wipe out history. To this day we have Civil War
re-enactments, Civil War Monuments, National Parks made out of the
battlefields. This is a huge part of US history, and it should be remembered
- boths sides. While thru the years - its hallmark has been ending slavery -
the I believe was it based on economics - ending slavery was a small part. I
think they are crazy to want to destroy that mountain art piece - it is an
art piece, it represents history. I know here in Alexandria - in the center
of town - we have a Confederate Soldier Statue and memeriol. I hear
rumblings about removing him! I get upset - it honors the soldiers - they
died - they deserve to be remembered. History immotalizes the victors but
the vanqished have the same story. They were they brave, they died for their
beliefs, and they are someone's father. brother, son, mother, daughter,
sister, they can also be remembered because but for a twist of fate - they
would be the victors.
