A very good blogging friend has been castigated for having the flag of the Confederacy on his blog. It is his blog, he pays for it. It is not a racist symbol, and anyone that has taken the time to actually study what went into causing the American Civil War, as most people refer to the War of Northern Aggression, knows that.
My folks come from the area of Audrain County Missouri. That’s right, they were in the thick of things. From riding with Quantrils Raiders, and supporting Bloody Bill Anderson when ever they could. They fought for principles, not for the right to own other human beings.

” … It will be a glorious day for our country when all the children within its borders shall learn that the four years of fratricidal war between the North and South was waged by neither with criminal or unworthy intent, but by both to protect what they conceived to be threatened rights and imperiled liberty: that the issues which divided the sections were born when the Republic was born, and were forever buried in an ocean of fraternal blood.”
– Lieutenant General John B. Gordon, CSA
What wonderful words these are from one of the finest generals to serve the Confederacy. However, no matter how wonderful the words, they are all for naught if one doesn’t understand what drove one American to take up arms against another American. This portion of the “Home of the American Civil War” site makes no attempt to tell both sides of the story. You are taught the Union side in every classroom, in every school, in every city, in every county, in every state of this great nation of ours. This is an attempt to show you that, regardless of what you were taught, there is another side, and you are entitled to know what it was. So sit back, relax, let your mind wander back across the years to the Ante Bellum era. Let’s see what the Southerner thought he was fighting for. You might be surprised.

Aye my friend, aye. Perhaps he should go to the Applebee Home in Mexico Mo. See what the Union Army did there three years before formal war was declared.
Then talk shit to me. It still stands, the blackened remains. The skeletons of our women…

Well George, anytime you want a debate. Just bring it on.
I understand what you are saying, I do however believe that you are incorrect about Fred.
