Federalism in America has been one of the greatest experiments in democracy and human freedom in history, despite stains in our country's origins. Let the will of the constituents of those 7 states decide what they want to celebrate, whether that's state's rights or Plantations (which, I don't think I've EVER heard any person suggest we go back to slavery, even from racist individuals). I know you weren't suggesting it be abolished, but you questioned its continued presence and how it can paint America in a negative light. To me, forcing people to give up their beliefs or heritage or allegiance to WHATEVER is dangerous and antithetical to American values. I am not surprised to hear such a thing exists, but I am also not troubled by it. For starters, I was born and raised in Florida and have never heard of Confederate History Month - thanks for nothing, public education. Lh1567 - Why do we have Confederate History Month?
