-----2)Worldwide---The Pyramids of EGYPT were built on slave labor...The GREAT WALL of CHINA was built on slave labor...The COLOSSEUM and other ROMAN HISTORY were built on slave labor,mostly white slaves...
------What do the countries of EGYPT,CHINA and ITALY do with them? Tear them down? NO!!! They make them tourist attractions...
------Famous Artist who painted President OBAMA'S Portrait,Kehinde WILEY. Has made a statue "RUMORS of WAR". A statue of an AFRICAN AMERICAN Youth,wearing NIKE shoes. As most AFRICAN AMERICAN Youths do. As sports stars endorse NIKE. NIKE has enslaved Southeast Asia for decades,to make their shoe.
------But I guess that's o.k.,If the shoe fits,wink,wink. But I do like Mr.WILEY'S idea of a statue. Instead of tearing down statues. People should put up statues that they want to see, that tell their stories of HISTORY...
------Here is why keeping HISTORY is important. Just because it isn't important to you. Doesn't mean it isn't important someone else. EXAMPLE: There was a story on Antiques Roadshow. Someone came on the show with a Civil War era sword/sabre. To see what it was worth. An expert on the show, seen what it was. Called security/Police. The person was taken right of the show for questioning. You see the sword was that of General George PICKETT. Which many,many years earlier had been stolen from the PICKETT home.
------Whether or not that person, or the person's family had anything to do with the theft. Was up to the Police. As for General PICKETT'S sword/sabre,used in the famed PICKETT'S Charge at Gettysburg. It was returned to the PICKETT'S family. Courtesy of Antiques Roadshow.
------That sword,a part of AMERICAN HISTORY. Was not destroyed. It is not just important to the PICKETT family, But AMERICA as well. It shows the BRAVERY of General PICKETT. In the face of overwhelming cannon/rifle fire. What AMERICANS are capable of. YES,I SAID AMERICANS. IF THE Left Liberals have their way. HISTORY of AMERICA'S BRAVERY WILL BE LOST FOREVER...
------5) As for the Left's stupidity for even thinking of renaming military bases. Those men were not just USA,or CSA or back to USA men. Those men never stopped being AMERICAN. THEY ARE AMERICAN PERIOD...
----------A)General George PICKETT'S ---BRAVERY...
----------B)General John Bell HOOD---his endurance,fought with one arm,one leg in The War.---ENDURANCE...
----------C)General Joseph JOHNSTON ---loyalty towards his Foe, SHERMAN. At SHERMAN'S funeral. In the rain,JOHNSTON refused to wear a hat. JOHNSTON refused to wear a hat. JOHNSTON said,"SHERMAN would do the same for me." JOHNSTON died a week later from pneumonia.---LOYALTY...
----------D)General Sidney (Albert) JOHNSTON ---while wounded and bleeding bad. JOHNSTON sent his own doctors to go and treat UNION prisoners. JOHNSTON ended up bleeding to death.---COMPASSION...
--------Whether USA or CSA. They were AMERICAN. BRAVERY,ENDURANCE,LOYALTY and COMPASSION...Even to a Foe. The AMERICAN SPIRIT ,what that spirit means...THEN, NOW and FOREVER!!!

------------------------168th Infantry,Company "M",of The Famed RAINBOW Division of World War I. found in his diary after his death...
---------------------HIS PLEDGE:
---------------------AMERICA SHALL WIN THIS WAR..
---------------------There for I will work,
---------------------I will save,
---------------------I will sacrifice,
---------------------I will endure,
---------------------I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost,
---------------------As if the whole Issue of the Struggle,
---------------------DEPENDED ON ME ALONE."...*Born on Robert E.LEE'S Birthday*
-------7)3 AMERICAN HEROES-BORN IN JANUARY...
---------------------3 AMERICAN HEROES BORN A WEEK APART THROUGHOUT TIME IN JANUARY...
-------------------------In January ,AMERICA and The SOUTH, celebrates the birthday's of 3 of it's beloved sons.1) Dr.Martian Luther KING Jr.(Jan.15,1929),2)General Robert E.LEE(Jan.19,1807),and General Thomas "STONEWALL" JACKSON(Jan.21,1824). It is nice to see these 3 names HONORED together in our politically correct society.
--------------In fact, since Dr.KING has achieved almost a righteous realm, while HISTORICAL markers and HISTORICAL references Honoring the 2 Generals are desecrated and destroyed across The SOUTH and AMERICA.
--------------One wonders what Dr.KING,who dreamed of a day when men would be judged not by the color their skin, but by the content of their character, would say about such behavior.
--------------Dr.KING taught to love, not hate those who we disagree with. Dr.KING showed us through peaceful protests,and ultimately his death. That,"ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.",Dr.KING deserves our HONOR.
--------------Similarly , decades ,after the cannons of THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES fell silent. Men and Women across The SOUTH and AMERICA,still HONOR the memories of the 2 Generals as well. Today many Leftists denounce those HONORS through juvenile name calling.
--------------It is helpful to consider the character of these 2 Generals. Not through politically correct glasses that labels them as unrepentant racists, much as the Left currently labels our President Donald J.Trump. It is the exact opposite. LEE and JACKSON endeared themselves to Southerners and AMERICA. Because they were men of unquestionable character. Their tactics are taught worldwide.
--------------Despite JACKSON'S success in both THE MEXICAN/AMERICAN WAR and THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES. The accomplishment for which he was most proud of , was the SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS he began in 1855. For FREE Black and Slave children in Lexington ,VA..More than 100 children showed up every SUNDAY, not just to learn THE WORD of GOD, but also to read and write. Many of them became Leaders in their communities after Blacks were freed.
---------------JACKSON'S effort was no small accomplishment. In the aftermath of the 1831 Turner Rebellion in Southeast Virginia. Legislatures in all Southern States enacted restrictive Laws, including the prohibition of Black education. A local Lexington judge warned JACKSON his SUNDAY SCHOOL was in violation of such laws,and he could face a year in jail, if he continued.
---------------JACKSON was stubborn and responded that Black children stood in need of GOD'S Salvation as much as White children. He told the judge to follow his conscience, as JACKSON would follow his. He refused to close the school. Which continued for many years after his death in 1863. Shot by his own troops on night scouting...wink,wink
...Looks like the judge got to JACKSON the only way he could. Making JACKSON an early martyr for Civil Rights ,assassinated like Dr.KING,both men of GOD as well.----------------Likewise LEE endeared himself to Southerners and AMERICA,not only through his FAITH and HONOR. He was the only cadet to go through WEST POINT ,without receiving a demerit. LEE, as a Captain ,captured a MEXICAN General and his army with a small group of men,in THE MEXICAN/AMERICAN WAR.
----------------LEE was offered command of the entire UNION ARMY by LINCOLN,at the beginning of THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES. LEE refused ,because he could not fight against his "country" ,the Sovereign State of Virginia. His father was Henry "Lighthorse" LEE, in the AMERICAN Revolutionary War. George WASHINGTON'S best calvary man and close friend. LEE married WASHINGTON'S granddaughter.
----------------LEE was also a strong christian who closely aligned his Faith in GOD, with his duty as a military officer. LEE once wrote,DUTY ,THEN IS THE SUBLIMEST WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, YOU SHOULD DO YOUR DUTY IN ALL THINGS. YOU CAN NEVER DO MORE. YOU SHOULD NEVER DO LESS."
----------------LEE imprinted many such moral lessons to future leaders of his State, from all ,White,Black,etc.etc...as President of WASHINGTON and LEE University,after the War. LEE is buried in the chapel there.
----------------It is no surprise that Southerners and most AMERICANS whose fathers and grandfathers fought in THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES. Recognized the Moral qualites of these 2 Generals, and wanted to hold them as examples for their children and grandchildren,all AMERICANS.
----------------IF ONLY WE COULD RECOGNIZE THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER,NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN OR WHICH SIDE THEY FOUGHT ON, NORTH or SOUTH.ALL WERE AMERICAN. WE MIGHT ACHIEVE DR.KING'S DREAM...
-------------8)AS FOR HISTORY...
--------------------WE WILL FIGHT FOR IT
--------------------WE WILL DIE FOR IT
--------------------WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER IT
-------------------------IN WORLD WAR II ,AMERICA SENT MEN,"THE MONUMENT MEN" to protect and rescue EUROPE'S HISTORY.So HISTORY would not be lost, SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET OUR OWN BE ERASED AND DESTROYED BY THE Left.
---------------------IF THEY WANT TO PUT UP STATUES, TELLING STORIES of HISTORY THEY WANT REFLECTED. THEN THEY CAN PUT THEM NEXT TO THE ONES THEY WISH TO ERASE AND DESTROY. NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM FROM DOING SO. LET ALL THE STATUES ,MONUMENTS, ETC.,STAND TOGETHER FOR HISTORY...
--------------Losing A War...
------------------Why Honoring those who fought...
----------A)MEXICANS lost a War to the USA...Yet MEXICANS fly The MEXICAN FLAG all over The USA Parade through AMERICAN streets on May 5th/Cinco de Mayo...
----------B)The USA lost a war in Vietnam...So?,ALL VIETNAM STATUES and MEMORIALS should be taken down? They HONOR AMERICAN SOLDIERS WHO LOST A WAR...REMEMBER ,ALL WHO FOUGHT IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES...WERE...ALL AMERICANS...NORTH,SOUTH,THEY WERE ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERS...
----------c)EXAMPLE: Why HISTORY is Important...
-------------As for a losing leader...A story from when The USA liberated KUWAIT from IRAQ. A captured Iraqi soldier ,riding in the back of an APC(Armuored Personal Carrier). Asked his AMERICAN captor.
----Iraqi soldier,"Why do you have a picture of your enemy(The Desert Fox/Rommel) hanging up?"
----AMERICAN Soldier,"Maybe if you had a picture of him(Rommel).You wouldn't be riding in the back of my APC."
---------------------------WE ALL CAN ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING. FROM SOMEONE,NO MATTER WHO IT IS...HISTORY,HISTORY
---------------9)AS FOR THE ATTACK ON HISTORY.
---------------------When they tell of AMERICAN DEAD...YES ,AMERICAN DEAD...IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES. They say,620,000 AMERICANS DIED. NOT THIS MANY UNION or THIS MANY CONFEDERATE...THIS MANY...620,000 AMERICANS
---------------When the War ended President LINCOLN,didn't have a Victory party,or spit in The SOUTH'S Face. LINCOLN had "DIXIE" played to welcome the CONFEDERATE AMERICANS HOME. One U.S. Major bowed,along with his horse bowing,his men salute the CONFEDERATE AMERICANS as they passed through his unit. As they came home. As everyone was AMERICAN before,during,and after the War...AMERICANS...PEOPLE TODAY SHOULD REMEMBER THAT...EVERYONE WAS AMERICAN...
------------10)AMERICA LOST IT'S HONOR,GLORY,AND CHIVALRY AFTER THE WAR. THAT IS WHAT..."GONE WITH THE WIND" IS ALL ABOUT.
----------------IF AMERICANS...ALL AMERICANS,EVER WANT TO GET AMERICA'S HONOR,GLORY,AND CHIVALRY BACK...THE ONE SHINING SILVER LINING of The SOUTH/CONFEDERACY...
-----------------LET IT SHINE AGAIN IN ALL AMERICANS...AS IT SHINED IN THOSE AMERICANS OF OUR PAST...YES,OUR PAST...THE AMERICAN SPIRIT WHICH MADE/MAKES US AMERICAN...THEN, NOW AND FOREVER
-----------------LIKE PVT. TREPTOW'S PLEDGE;
------------------AMERICA WILL WIN THIS WAR ON AMERICA'S HISTORY
------------GOD BLESS AMERICA
