re: #91 Blind Frog Belly White

The problem with “There were some who did not own slaves and saw themselves as defending their rights” is that it still comes back to the ‘right’ they were defending. At best, the right not to be told to stop doing something unconscionable.

I see a big distinction between people’s individual decisions and the cause of the Confederacy itself. And big distinction between private displays of Confederate heritage and regalia and state-sanctioned ones.
