answer:As a Southerner, born and bred, in no way do I want to see a Confederate History Month. There is so much more about the South to celebrate than the Civil bloody War and the South’s position in it. What about the pioneers? What about famous civil rights leaders? What about our technology? Focusing on the confederacy only continues the view, both inside and out of the South, that we still define ourselves by a fucking war that happened over one hundred years ago. Instead we should celebrate our entire history and not just one part of it. Should the confederacy be part of that teaching? Yes, because we can’t forget the long-reaching ramifications, yet can’t we move beyond this pinhole camera focus to encompass the broader picture?
