    #US #SupremeCourt justices in black robes struggle to raise the #confederate flag on the peak of Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima. They trample on the Voting Rights Act as they do so.

  8. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Liverpool and the Confederate States: Fraser Trenholm and company operations during the American civil war

    "This dissertation covers a brief history of Liverpool from the early days up to the start of the American Civil War. The importance of the American Cotton Trade is detailed. Events are then viewed during the war principally through the eyes of Fraser Trenholm and Company, the main bankers and depositories for the Confederate States in Europe."

  9. #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump , the worst #POTUS in #American #history , essentially had a #TrumpRally at #FortBragg in #NorthCarolina. Selected attendees cheered when he boasted about changing its name *back* after it had been renamed #FortLiberty by the #JoeBiden administration. Trump didn’t mention that the new namesake is unknown Roland, not original Braxton Bragg!

    ✧ CSS General Earl Van Dorn ✧

    CSS General Earl Van Dorn was a cottonclad warship used by the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. Purchased for Confederate service in New Orleans in early 1862 to serve with the River Defense Fleet, she was converted into a cottonclad warship by installing an iron-co...

  11. On #Christmas Eve, we have been reminded by @wikipedia that the #KuKluxKlan was founded OTD in 1865 by fake #Christians in Pulaski, #Tennessee. Former #Confederate Officer Nathan Bedford Forrest was its first ‘Grand Wizard’. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_

  12. Consider what happened in Texas in 2010. As part of a highly publicized revamp of the state social studies curriculum, the Republican-controlled Texas Board of Education removed slavery as the central cause of the Civil War and replaced it with states' rights and secession, with Republican board member Patricia Hardy calling slavery "an after issue." The Republican members also considered referring to the slave trade as the "Atlantic Triangular Trade" before finally settling on "Transatlantic Slave Trade."

    The new curriculum was silent on the KKK during Reconstruction and failed to mention the Jim Crow era at all. It also equated Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln.

    In addition, the curriculum claimed that Joseph McCarthy was correct when he said the U.S. government had been infiltrated by communists in the 1950s, included lessons on why the U.S. needs to return to the gold standard, and asserted that the United Nations, International Criminal Court, and global environmental initiatives undermined U.S. sovereignty. And it scrubbed any mention of Thomas Jefferson's role in U.S. history because he advocated for the separation of church and state.

  13. Congress is close to a bipartisan deal that could reverse the Trump administration’s renaming of several southern Army bases back to Confederate leaders. The House-passed defense bill would block Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s move and restore the 2020 changes that honored a more diverse set of figures. The Senate’s bill would cover three Virginia bases, but Georgia senators want their two bases included. With the Senate vote pending, final negotiations may soon decide if the renamings stick or are rolled back. Will Congress override Hegseth’s move?

  14. #EdgarRiceBurroughs offered a wealth of critical fodder with his #Tarzan stories (was it even necessary to list all the problems, starting with the very idea of him?), or his #Barsoom series, where the protagonist #JohnCarter had been a captain in the Army of New #Virginia before becoming a Martian warlord. "A #Confederate officer?" Atticus's father had said, appalled. "That's the hero?"
