Roy,

You should read some of the comments posted on Fold3. The Confederates started the war, it was fought over slavery, the Confederates were traitors, the Cornerstone proves it, etc., you know the drill. Fold3 will allow these comments to stand, no problem, but when I challenge them or post factual info in response to these comments, they are removed. I agree with you, not enough people with knowledge take a stand for the truth, why I don't know. I know there are many who do not speak up because they feel they are not knowledgeable enough, but that is no excuse, especially in todays world with the amount of info that is online. Everyone has access to credible info and sources.

I really hope more people wake up and speak up.

Here is just one comment that I have dealt with. Note what i put in bold---

he more time that goes by, the more I think Abraham Lincoln was not a good president. Yes, he was the one known for his backbone fighting to recruit the generals with the Right Stuff, but then he completely blew it at the end of the war. We can only wonder how he would have reacted had he survived the assassination. Instead, he let the rebel generals off the hook instead of convening a trial and hanging them for treason. As a result, the defeated generals went underground and formed a terrorist organization called the Ku Klux Klan that, and like the Taliban, tortured and killed those who had helped the USA. Today, like the Taliban, many Southerners hold these terrorist in high esteem and even defend statues celebrating their insurrection against America. It sickens me to no end to see these terrorist honored in any way. Otherwise, we should erect a statue in New York to Osama bin Laden. There is NO difference.
