End of the line for noted traitor Robert E Lee

It is being reported that the Secretary of the Army is open to re-naming miltary bases named after Confederate generals.

Nearly all of America’s Confederate monuments were built in the late 1800s or early 1900s, during the Lost Cause Era efforts to mythologize the Civil War and the South’s reason for seceding to fight it. Statues went up across the South, in an effort to obscure the war’s roots in the effort to preserve slavery, and to remind Black Americans during the Jim Crow years that they were still subject to violent and oppressive white supremacy. Another wave of statues were erected in the 1950s, in response to desegregation efforts and calls for civil rights. They spread across the nation to reinforce the same message even in states that hadn’t seceded.

Yes....... $$$

Ppl are getting tired of helping them & them not doing what they want for that cash.

Iran gubment is supporting the cause, eventhough most Persians are like WTF, they don't care about those fuckin arab anyway..... & I have never met one that did.. Either born here, been here for a long time or FOB............ They don't believe it's their fight & don't want their money going there..

Palestinians are almost all Sunni Muslim & Christian so it is odd that they would get or accept Shia money, but beggars can't be choosy as they say..
OK.. makes sense..what does Iran want back in return for "support"? anything political? terrorism?
I'm having trouble seeing what they get for their Palestinian support money (as are Iranian citizens)

Palestine continued to be a war-torn and much-contested region up through World War II when, afterwards, the United Nations declared the area the State of Israel and established it as a homeland for the Jewish people. This mandate by the United Nations, and the resulting country of Israel, remains controversial and the region continues to be as troubled in the present day as it was in ancient times.

The number of Jews living in Palestine was very small indeed until Asquith set up a 'National Home' to get Zionist money during the First War, and whatever that meant it was not a Zionist nation state. The UK gave up its mandate over Palestine because of the murderous terrorism of the intellectual ancestors of Netenyahu, and the Zionists bribed enough poor countries to get their colony established, while the USA and the Soviet Union were desperate to avoid taking displaced persons and, in the case of the USSR, to get rid of an informed potential opposition. The Zionists were able to drive out much of the native population because the British had previously defeated a Palestinian Rising to protect Jews, and because the intervention of other states was mostly gesture stuff. It is not a very glorious history. The only British anti-Semite I have ever met to talk to rather than fight was one of our teachers, whose best friend had been murdered by Zionist terrorists, and his body booby-trapped with explosives, to kill more of the soldiers who'd fought Hitler. It is not a glorious story!

The United nations didn't declare ' the State of Israel'. The Zionist terrorists declared it UNILATERALLY in 1948. When president Truman was asked to recognize ' the Jewish State ' he crossed it out and replaced it with ' State of Israel '.

The Balfour Declaration and the Mandate provided not for a Jewish state, but for a Jewish national home.2 Neither the United States nor the British Government has ever interpreted the term 'Jewish national home' to be a Jewish national state."

If they'd have known that it would become an apartheid state for racist fascists - as was warned- then NOBODY WOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED IT AT ALL.
 
They should re-name Fort Benning to Fort Sherman.

Henry Benning had no doubt why he fought the Civil War, and it was not about "states rights" or taxes.

Benning, "What was the reason that induced Georgia to take the step of secession? This reason may be summed up in one single proposition. It was a conviction, a deep conviction on the part of Georgia, that a separation from the North-was the only thing that could prevent the abolition of her slavery."

The Arabs and Palestinians foment their own form of "Lost Cause," and like the revisions in America, the Arabs are losing the propaganda campaign, too.

Most Izraelis are racists. Anybody supporting them is also a racist. Palestinian lives matter. White Izraeli suppression and occupation must cease.
 
Hello Dutch Uncle,

There was no "Southern Aggression". South Carolina did serve an eviction notice but they didn't kill anyone. That's not justification for Lincoln to claim "Southern Aggression" and start a war that would kill 2% of the population.

That said, as most historians note, "the seeds of the Civil War were sewn into the Constitution" through the Three-Fifths Compromise which gave tacit approval of slavery. When the North began to renege on that approval, it caused problems.

No, the correct solution was to move beyond the slavery that held the southern economy BACK, and amend the Constitution. It was amended much later anyway. Would have been far better to just do it right away. Look at all the trouble that mistake caused. We are still plagued by it today.

The southern pre-war slave economy is a tribute to why it is a problem when wealth inequality becomes too extreme. Zero progress. Locked into an economic model that worked for only a few. But those few had all the power and they liked their situation so much they refused to progress. They tried to stay locked into a past which benefited them, and they were afraid of ordinary life without all the perks they enjoyed.

The slave economy prevented a robust economy because there were almost no jobs, no hiring. Most labor was simply purchased. The north had factories, jobs and consumer spending. The north inevitably grew much stronger than the south, the south felt threatened, and tried to fight for it's antiquated and cruel way of life. That's why we had the Civil War, basically.
 
Well said jimmymccready,

and hello Dutch Uncle,

"Quote Originally Posted by jimmymccready:

The attack on the US flag turned enough northern Democrats to Lincoln to give him surety to order out the northern and western milias.

The war killed more than 700000 people, including civilians, and the South is responsible for all of it."

That false blame is why we're still talking about it over 150 years later.

It is entirely true.
