MoEvidently notIs that why so many of the statues had labels talking about the white race?
No.
Are you denying that slavery was a settled issue by 19 fucking 16?
The South will rise again was still drawing support. The KKK came back stronger than ever
Ok. Now support your argument, that there was a serious move to re institute slavery, and that the statues were part of it.
In 19 fucking 16.
lol!!!!
Pretty much smack dab in the peak activity of the UDC who worked so hard to rewrite that history and feverishly put up all these monuments as propaganda transmitters. The previous year the Klan was re-founded into it much larger and more widespread version. The following year the UDC put up along with its many other monuments a plaque commemorating the origin spot of the original Ku Klux Klan with the founders' names. That plaque was turned backward in the 1990s so it now shows a blank side.
Also in the peak of the "Birth of a Nation" film (1915), innumerable lynchings and race riots including the "Red Summer" (1919) and Tulsa (1921) where a black neighborhood was literally wiped off the map including air bombings. AIR BOMBINGS, in 1921.
So yes, very much an effort to reinstitute slavery/segregation/racism. It was rampant. And these UDC propaganda transmitters were plunked down where they were, not in cemeteries or battlefields but in public squares and high-traffic areas ---- to send the message in that pre-electronic age of who was in charge here and who would stay in charge.
That's while they were spending even more time and effort literally rewriting history books to cover up the whole slavery basis for the War itself. You know --- as every Confederate state specifically spelled out in its articles of secession.
That'll be all for now. You can take your blinders off and retreat to your bubbly safe space where you can pull the covers over your head and pretend none of this just happened.
Your attempt to move the goal posts from "slavery" to "racism" is noted and denied.
That you tried to move the goal post is an admission that you agree, that RW, was talking out his ass.
YOu spend a lot of time focusing on how racist the Deep south was, one hundred years ago.
That does not prove that the raising of the statues was not a normal desire from people who fought a war to remember those that fought and/or died.
"Moving the goalposts from slavery to racism....because racism is SO MUCH better.........
