Mississippi has joined Virginia in declaring confederate history month.

I went to a great many Civil war battle fields in Tennessee and Kentucky and it was an eerie feeling because it is as if time stands still. You can picture the lines of men marching towards you and dying in droves. Many sites still had bodies buried under your very feet. I have the deepest respect for all men who fought in the conflict. It is history that should not be forgotten.

I didnt even know we had a confederate history month here.

The Confederacy was a treasonous and seditious enterprise that was based on slavery and exploitation and doesn't deserve to be celebrated any more than the institution of slavery itself deserves to be.

And before anyone brings it up - the Civil War was not about state's rights. If the South didn't have slaves, there would have been no war.

And the North won.

Some people can't seem to get over that.
