This over simplifying history to the "south were the bad guys and the north were the good guys" shows how little people know about history. Stonewall Jacks traveled a hundred miles to buy a slave who had relations with one of his slaves. This guy was one of the bravest men and had tremendous honor. Slavery was foisted on America by Charles II who authorized and gave an exclusive monopoly to his brother who was the Duke of York, James II. They named New York in honor of James II. Why not change the name of New York? Why just the south? The north participated in the Atlantic trade. Northern states were involved in financing slaves. Northern factories were using slave cotton on their mills. The modern American thinks you can just release 3.5 million slaves overnight. It is all so simple says the modern student. Well, if it is so easy why are we using slave labor to make the clothes everone is wearing and all the products made in these box stores. The north tried to make slavery permanent with the Corwin Amendment. Stop over simplifying history. Yes, lets restore the names and lets learn real history. The north killed about 260,000 slaves from Lincoln's war on civilians. Lincoln stood for an all powerful central government. We are experiencing this problem today. Lets look at how Lincoln's centralization of power has reduced or freedom and dear say put us all in danger of slavery.

I was born and raised in CA. I only knew what you learn in school about the civil war. Then in 1998 I moved to Northern VA and lived there for 5 years before retuning to CA to help my aging parents. I am a history buff and took advantage of my location to visit historical sites and did tons of reading. I was so surprised and even moved when I read a 3 volume biography of Robert E. Lee. I think people would think twice if they knew his entire story. The truth of it. These men were products of the times, and some of them were STILL great men. I was sad when these men, long dead, were crucified. Often through simple lack of knowledge. For instance, Robert E. Lee retired from the U.S. army to avoid fighting his country men or friends when the war started. He only took up arms when asked and only to defend his home state of VA. After the war, he traveled allot and was focused on healing for the people of the south. He loved his country. And this from a man who had lost everything during the war. What is now Arlington national cemetery was the home of Robert E. Lee before the war. It had belonged to his wife who was a ancestor of George Washington. After the war he and his wife lived with others. He eventually got a job at a college that provided housing, but he had lost EVERYTHING. And yet, he was never bitter. I challenge people to read what he did before the Civil War and see who he was. He never wanted the Civil war. Also, in 2019 I found out who my dad’s real rather was. It turned out he was from the Shenandoah valley and we have many ancestors who were in the American Revolution, the war of 1812 and the Civil War. I was horrified about the civil war until I remembered about Lee. They were all products of their times and I am sure there were good men among them. And I am content to let the people of the South keep their history. In fact, I think it should be taught. They will be proud of some of it and ashamed of some of it. I am. But those people, were our people. Many were the sons, grandsons and even great grandsons of those who fought the British in 1776 and 1812. Mine literally were. There were bad people all over the world. And good ones too. I wish I knew how to heal those who still bare scars from the past. A very real and understandable thing.
Yeah people don't understand, like some people probably should not have schools named after them. People also forget the history about the total warfare that happened during the war when you have troops marching and indiscriminately burning your fields cause there is a chance you are providing food, who do you think they are going to think the bad ones are and who are they going to blame. People also forget that children in the north were being paid pennies in factories to risk their life that that's almost as bad as slavery so the north was not taking the same economic hits for rights that they expected of the south. This is why states are not supposed to really make interstate compacts, we definitely should not allow a national popular vote compact.

@@IronskullGM nah, the vast majority of those statues were built during the civil rights era. They were a way to remind black people where their "place" was. They had nothing to do with honor. They were just reinforcing the oppression of black people. That makes the heritage, not hate mantra, a lie. Look it up. By the way, black Americans have fought in every war this nation has had. How many southern cities have statues of those heroes? You know, to preserve history and all.
Virginia was part of the confederacy for four years: 1861 - 1865 & VA restoring confederate names to a school is not shocking, but no one should be compelled to honor names of those who fought to maintain the odious institution of enslavement because VA chooses the 4 years of the confederacy over the 246 years of enslavement. That one girl’s objection to the violation of her constitutional rights should suffice in preserving the neutral names, but no one questions or challenges how supporting a confederacy (before the Reconstruction Amendments were in full force and effect) is mutually exclusive of the dehumanization and deprivations of the Dred Scott decision. De jure discrimination based on race was at the heart of the case of Loving v. VA in 1967, and until there is truth and conciliation, these badges and incidents of slavery will persist in 2024 and into perpetuity. Virginia has proven that it has a compelling state interest in perpetuating false narratives and the doctrine of white supremacy. The schools’ names lasted 4 years as did VA in the confederacy.
I am more outraged at the fact that Va is tearing down war memorials because they mention confederate soldiers. These include ww1 and ww2 memorials and they aren’t being replaced.
@@floopnoopian679 Counties often have war memorials with all names on them. taking note of all those who served from all previous conflicts. Why do you support tearing down war memorials?
Confederate soldiers did not fight for the United States. They fought for a seditious nation that would have seen the US destroyed. Their names should not share space with those of our fallen soldiers.
Pure and utter nonsense! America has got to be brave enough and progressive enough to move as far away as possible from it's racist history past and present if this country intends to be an example of true democracy and inclusiveness.
To me, names changes are alienating. Do we want to forget the past at the risk of repeating it or learn from history? If one is a lazy thinker and has the budget for a fresh start, go ahead, if one wants to learn from the past and save money, don’t make the name change. Never felt more estranged from my veteran colleagues than when I asked where someone was stationed and heard “Fort Liberty.” I had no idea I was stationed there too, and there was a kick to gut when I learned it. Oh well. Time marches on.
Everyone needs to STOP tearing down statutes and changing historical names just because a bunch of people's feelings might get hurt! It's not going to change the past so instead of erasing it, learn from it!

In 1970, as a young 18 years old, traveling from Miami to NYC as a new immigrant that didn’t speak english, I knew history and I was taken aback by all the confederate flags in the south. They lost I told myself, I couldn’t understand the flag or the symbols. Today, 54 years later, i still cannot understand the debate. Confederacy lost. Case closed. PS: I understand why the government allow the culture, the divisive symbols, named bases, etc., with confederate names. A necessary evil at the time. I don’t like to look back, but really what it did was to bring us to this mess today. Of people parading around with confederate and nazi flags.
What brought us here is the hatred of the blacks. No one has a right to steal and dissolve the heritage of another. You as an immigrant will never have a rightful say about this issue anyway, but white people built America and gave rights, freedom, welfare, affirmative action, everything to blacks and now blacks cannot honor white heritage? That’s why blacks could never build a successful country of their own.
All i hear about this flag is how its history needs to live on...

Let the celebrated names of confederate leaders remain in the place they belong. HISTORY BOOKS. The people who want to change the names back will naturally pass away at some point.

@@michaelray3865 what is your point? My point is, that changing the names of schools because they were confederate soldiers doesn't change the fact that slavery existed. It doesn't necessarily honor the men by naming schools after them, but it sure helps people remember that bad things can happen and you must remain moral and vigilant. Democrats are trying to bring back segregation, which proves my point
No it won't change history. But it doesn't glamorize those who started a war in which 600,000 died just so the wealthy southern ruling class could have slaves.
Probably would have been a good idea to not use such disconnected names for the new school names. People would have been less pissed off if they called the school Southern Pride High School or Spirit of the South High School. Those may be a bit wonky but you catch my drift.
You can’t erase history. With that said; you have to consider the laws of the times and what was done, not only in America but around the world. Native Americans raided other tribes and took slaves. Was that bad? Yes, but they all did it…for centuries. In Africa it was the same way. Meddle East, Eurasia, the list goes on. Times have changed, thank God, but the past can not be erases nor forgotten. General Lee was a hero to many. He personally didn’t own any slaves (his wife did inherit some, but Lee didn’t work them, he leased them to others). You have to understand, Lee was a military man, hardly ever home. For all you who are crying about slavery, what are you willing to do about the “founding fathers”?, who were slaves owners Read your history folks, don’t be ignorant all your life. Next thing you’ll want to erase is the holocaust.

Yet you have no problem writing your comment on a electronic made by child slave labor 😂
I was born and raised in CA. I only knew what you learn in school about the civil war. Then in 1998 I moved to Northern VA and lived there for 5 years before retuning to CA to help my aging parents.
I am a history buff and took advantage of my location to visit historical sites and did tons of reading. I was so surprised and even moved when I read a 3 volume biography of Robert E. Lee. I think people would think twice if they knew his entire story. The truth of it. These men were products of the times, and some of them were STILL great men. I was sad when these men, long dead, were crucified. Often through simple lack of knowledge. For instance, Robert E. Lee retired from the U.S. army to avoid fighting his country men or friends when the war started. He only took up arms when asked and only to defend his home state of VA. After the war, he traveled allot and was focused on healing for the people of the south. He loved his country. And this from a man who had lost everything during the war. What is now Arlington national cemetery was the home of Robert E. Lee before the war. It had belonged to his wife who was a ancestor of George Washington. After the war he and his wife lived with others. He eventually got a job at a college that provided housing, but he had lost EVERYTHING. And yet, he was never bitter.
I challenge people to read what he did before the Civil War and see who he was. He never wanted the Civil war.
Also, in 2019 I found out who my dad’s real rather was. It turned out he was from the Shenandoah valley and we have many ancestors who were in the American Revolution, the war of 1812 and the Civil War. I was horrified about the civil war until I remembered about Lee. They were all products of their times and I am sure there were good men among them. And I am content to let the people of the South keep their history. In fact, I think it should be taught. They will be proud of some of it and ashamed of some of it. I am. But those people, were our people. Many were the sons, grandsons and even great grandsons of those who fought the British in 1776 and 1812. Mine literally were. There were bad people all over the world. And good ones too. I wish I knew how to heal those who still bare scars from the past. A very real and understandable thing.
Yeah people don't understand, like some people probably should not have schools named after them.
People also forget the history about the total warfare that happened during the war when you have troops marching and indiscriminately burning your fields cause there is a chance you are providing food, who do you think they are going to think the bad ones are and who are they going to blame. People also forget that children in the north were being paid pennies in factories to risk their life that that's almost as bad as slavery so the north was not taking the same economic hits for rights that they expected of the south.
This is why states are not supposed to really make interstate compacts, we definitely should not allow a national popular vote compact.

Well, good thing it's not your decision regardless of your threats, its up to the People, you know, the democratic process.
With all of the book censorship laws, they're trying to get rid of the libraries and museums, too.
You are absolutely correct. Putting those names on military bases, schools and making statues, is a way of honoring those traitors.
@@Al-Rudigor well, unlike you, the people who actually fought the war thought differently and believed they were still Americans and deserved to be honored, yet here you are over 100 years later trying to undo the work done by those who fought the war as if you have more invested in it than they did and still think your opinion of the situation matters more than those who lived it.
@@IronskullGM nah, the vast majority of those statues were built during the civil rights era. They were a way to remind black people where their "place" was. They had nothing to do with honor. They were just reinforcing the oppression of black people. That makes the heritage, not hate mantra, a lie. Look it up. By the way, black Americans have fought in every war this nation has had. How many southern cities have statues of those heroes? You know, to preserve history and all.

He's not part of any discussion taking place here because he's far too extreme of an example. What's happening here is actually legit and Ok.
Virginia was part of the confederacy for four years: 1861 - 1865 & VA restoring confederate names to a school is not shocking, but no one should be compelled to honor names of those who fought to maintain the odious institution of enslavement because VA chooses the 4 years of the confederacy over the 246 years of enslavement. That one girl’s objection to the violation of her constitutional rights should suffice in preserving the neutral names, but no one questions or challenges how supporting a confederacy (before the Reconstruction Amendments were in full force and effect) is mutually exclusive of the dehumanization and deprivations of the Dred Scott decision.
De jure discrimination based on race was at the heart of the case of Loving v. VA in 1967, and until there is truth and conciliation, these badges and incidents of slavery will persist in 2024 and into perpetuity.
Virginia has proven that it has a compelling state interest in perpetuating false narratives and the doctrine of white supremacy. The schools’ names lasted 4 years as did VA in the confederacy.
I am more outraged at the fact that Va is tearing down war memorials because they mention confederate soldiers. These include ww1 and ww2 memorials and they aren’t being replaced.

Why celebrate traitors and losers? Lol
Pure and utter nonsense! America has got to be brave enough and progressive enough to move as far away as possible from it's racist history past and present if this country intends to be an example of true democracy and inclusiveness.
To me, names changes are alienating. Do we want to forget the past at the risk of repeating it or learn from history? If one is a lazy thinker and has the budget for a fresh start, go ahead, if one wants to learn from the past and save money, don’t make the name change.
Never felt more estranged from my veteran colleagues than when I asked where someone was stationed and heard “Fort Liberty.” I had no idea I was stationed there too, and there was a kick to gut when I learned it. Oh well. Time marches on.
Why would anyone would name anything after such losers and traitors? To intentionally name government buildings after traitors should be a crime.

In 1970, as a young 18 years old, traveling from Miami to NYC as a new immigrant that didn’t speak english, I knew history and I was taken aback by all the confederate flags in the south.
They lost I told myself, I couldn’t understand the flag or the symbols. Today, 54 years later, i still cannot understand the debate.
Confederacy lost. Case closed.
PS: I understand why the government allow the culture, the divisive symbols, named bases, etc., with confederate names. A necessary evil at the time.
I don’t like to look back, but really what it did was to bring us to this mess today. Of people parading around with confederate and nazi flags.
What brought us here is the hatred of the blacks. No one has a right to steal and dissolve the heritage of another. You as an immigrant will never have a rightful say about this issue anyway, but white people built America and gave rights, freedom, welfare, affirmative action, everything to blacks and now blacks cannot honor white heritage? That’s why blacks could never build a successful country of their own.
You can go back wherever you came from if u r taken aback, in America people have rights.
All i hear about this flag is how its history needs to live on... Was told this by a Confederate heir listening to biggy songs max on a stereo.. was super confused so I didn't say anything but how he shouldn't wave this flag in NY lol.... how can the new generation love something they great pops died fighting over to own lmao??

Probably would have been a good idea to not use such disconnected names for the new school names. People would have been less pissed off if they called the school Southern Pride High School or Spirit of the South High School. Those may be a bit wonky but you catch my drift.
Time to change schools and boycott the confederation
You can’t erase history. With that said; you have to consider the laws of the times and what was done, not only in America but around the world. Native Americans raided other tribes and took slaves. Was that bad? Yes, but they all did it…for centuries. In Africa it was the same way. Meddle East, Eurasia, the list goes on. Times have changed, thank God, but the past can not be erases nor forgotten. General Lee was a hero to many. He personally didn’t own any slaves (his wife did inherit some, but Lee didn’t work them, he leased them to others).
You have to understand, Lee was a military man, hardly ever home. For all you who are crying about slavery, what are you willing to do about the “founding fathers”?, who were slaves owners
Read your history folks, don’t be ignorant all your life.
Next thing you’ll want to erase is the holocaust.

The world will be a better place once these backward generations have passed
And the future generations will say the same about your generation. And so on, and so on......
Ah, give it forty years and *this* generation, here in 2024, will be seen as being one of those "backward generations". They, of course, will then be that "old generation," there in that future, looking back on that past and if not trying to justify and defend it all, at least trying to explain to that new, younger generation who, like all others before it, is always so confident that *they* know everything, that *they* are oh so much more educated than those "old people".
So much sooner than you can imagine, you are going to be one of those old people that the new, younger generation will be calling "backward" and it'll be your turn to sit there and chuckle as they promise you that now, finally, at long last, they, unlike all who have come before, are going to make the world a "better place".
