Having lived in the sphere of the Beltway for over three decades, I have traveled frequently to Virginia and West Virginia. History fascinates me so I have enjoyed learning about American History. As soon as my eyes caught a glimpse of a confederate flag, I knew I was entering the realm where battles were fought, won, lost--where history was made. The very idea would make my heart beat faster.



There are pockets in these regions where you could say time has stood still. History portrays the good and the bad in us but we cannot deny the events that happened. They happened. Hiding the confederate flag does not hide the events that happened. I am not for hiding or removing reminders of the tumultuous history that shaped our country today. It is important for the future generations to know that part of our history. By removing these icons or statues, we are denying the future generations the full knowledge that we have come a long way. We are keeping them in the dark as though robbing them of the knowledge. Will they be better for it?

As you know, Im in Virginia, Roanoke to be precise lol. My family fought for the South. Hell even my grandfathers name is Robert Lee lol (cant give my last name though). I just wish they would teach the kids the truth in school  :sad:
I've come here to chew bubble gum, and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

The same thing is happening in Canada. Some extremists want to erase our first pm, John A. MacDonald from history.

Did the slaves actually quit working for the masters after slavery was abolished?



I dont think they just left the plantation and went running into the woods yelling "Meessa free!"





I bet most of them kept living like they always have... Still working for the same massa..
