[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Post Civil War, the city of Vicksburg, MS, did not celebrate Independence Day until 1945, in celebration of our victory in a different war (after Gone With the Wind had come out.) I used to work with a native North Carolinian who is probably in his mid-fifties now. He referred to the Civil War as “the War of Northern Aggression.” An acquaintance told me he had a coworker who referred to it — in the 21st century — as “the recent unpleasantness.” We’re still fighting over Confederate statues. On January 6th of [i]this year,[/i] a man paraded a huge Confederate flag through the [i]US Capitol.[/i] Across this country, white lawmakers continue to work to disenfranchise voters in ways that disproportionately affect Black voters.

The Civil War is not some relic of our past. Its causes and effects aren’t limited to “a horrible part of our country’s history.” We are living its legacy right now, and our great grandchildren will, as well, one day.[/quote]

Traitor trash still living in our country today.
