This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!
An apt warning for today's conservatives who are repeating the mistakes of the past.
The Confederacy wasn't just a treasonous rebellion against the United States of America (though it was definitely that). It was also a rebellion against everything that the United States of America is supposed to stand for. It was a rebellion against freedom, liberty, justice, and equality. It was a treasonous rebellion to protect the institution of racial enslavement. They hated freedom so much that they decided to kill their fellow citizens.
Those who continue to celebrate the Confederacy, or protect commemorations of their treasonous cause (like the neo-Nazi terrorist that killed the American Patriot Heather Heyer), are showing themselves to be deeply unPatriotic and anti-American.
There is literally nothing more fundamental anti-American than Confederate sympathy.
Everyone who glorifies the Confederacy in 2019 is a white supremacist. It's a very clear message.
