Any serious, objective reading of history will confirm this. However, I say leave the monument to the Confederacy where it is. I like the idea of placing a monument on the other side of the courthouse that honors the civil rights movement and its leader. I would be willing to contribute financially to do this. I am a proud southerner but the Civil War was a tragedy that set back the south's economic and social development for decades.

There were a few remaining sufferers of the side effects of drinking adulterated moonshine still around back then. He has no business insulting you and other members of the media like that. <br /><br />By the way, while I am here, do you save Community Coffee proofs of purchase for their school program?
