It is the same thing. The liberal twits like you want to remove any reminders of the Confederate states because they supported slavery. Well guess what? So did Ancient Egypt and Rome.

But as I showed in my Robert E. Lee thread, Lee freed his slaves 10 years before the war and changed his mind about slavery and thought it was evil. He was not fighting for slavery, he was fighting for his state.

Besides, not all of Virginia was of the same mind, the western counties sided with the north and became a state in their own right.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostAnd prior to the Civil War the United States was spoken in the plural sense, as in "the United States are" rather than "the United States is," which signified how the country was viewed -- a cooperative coalition or federation of sovereign states. This plural or collective sense can be seen in the Constitution. But all that change dramatically after the Civil War
