[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Confederacy lasted 4 years, that’s hardly a deep routed history. It’s all about glorifying the old southern white lifestyle built on the backs of salves. Also according to the news this morning the streets in Alexandria that are named after confederate leaders were named in the 1950’s. What was the purpose of that? Go back to the previous names like Water Street etc.[/quote] It was in direct response to the civil rights movement and Brown vs. Board. [/quote] It had more to do with the advancement and spread of Lost Cause mythology which predates the civil rights movement by several decades. [/quote]
