Erasing History

#1 Post by kroxquo » Fri Mar 21, 2025 4:23 pm

A few years ago, a number of people across the country complained that history was being erased when statues of leaders of an armed rebellion against the American government were taken down. The main goal of this rebellion was the preservation and expansion of chattel slavery. Why are these people saying nothing about the stories of decorated American heroes who happen to have been Women, African American, Hispanic, and Native American being erased from government websites? Where is the uproar about history being erased?

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
