Thought you New Orleans folks would like that last quote.
quote:
A 21-year-old Sullivan’s Island resident is facing federal charges after being accused of damaging a support pole at Fort Sumter.
A grand jury indicted Noah Michael Sigalas on charges of defacing an archaeological resource and committing a depredation against property of the United States on Tuesday.
Sigalas is accused of “forcibly pulling on a support pole or support bar which was stabilizing part of a casemate wall along the north flank of Ft. Sumter, causing damage in excess of $1,000,” according to the indictment.
quote:
Sigalas' arraignment is set for May 24. If convicted of the charge of depredation of property of the United States, he could get up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The charge of defacing the archaeological resource carries a penalty of two years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

"There is no machine to make ‘new’ handmade bricks from prior to 1860," he said. "Destroying any part of Fort Sumter brick is like literally erasing a page from the history of the United States."

Seems like Mitch would have given him the key to the city if he had defaced one of the New Orleans Monuments.

Fort Sumter is "Not My Monument"

He's getting off easy compared to the last people who attacked Fort Sumter.

Meanwhile Mitch takes down whole monuments with firemen working illegally and gets a pat on the back from the city.

It's how the US justified invading another nation after at the time they refused to leave forts and ports in that country. Whether you are glad the Union won the war or not looking back on it, it was not hard to see who the bad guys were (purely politically, not discounting slavery as an egregious and callous institution). The Confederate states went through the process as defined to withdraw from the Union and create their own government and country. The whitewashing of these men as traitors is a bit misguided. Is it a good thing war occurred and the US was able to expedite the overhaul of slavery? Yes, undoubtedly. Can you be a traitor for attacking a foreign country who waged an attack after you offered a treaty and followed political protocol to have them remove military from your country? Most were in support of Ukraine doing it, how are they not traitors for not allowing Russia to reabsorb them?

Almost all of Coastal New England wanted to leave the Union during the months leading up to the War of 1812 ... The British Naval blockade decimated the Atlantic seaboard economies and they were starving... When Madison asked Massachusetts to send troops they refused and threatened secession... High School and Junior High Social Studies textbooks don't touch on facts like that... Students are only taught about the burning of Washington D.C. and Francis Scott Key writing the National Anthem.

I always laugh my arse off at people who praise Lincoln for "preserving the Union" and in the same breath curse Putin for trying to gain Eastern European counties back for Russia.
Hypocrital retards who don't understand history.
It is 100% true that a SJWs worst enemy and most hated opponent is a fact. They hate facts.

I wish I could create a parallel universe where we could see what happens when we give SJW's everything they demand and see what they do when they eventually have no choice but to turn on each other.

most of the bricks of the fort are original, made by slaves, and can’t be recreated.
That's it. This entire place has to be demolished now
