This saddens me to see the great institution of USMA espousing this garbage. The campaign of white guilt has now reached the point of invading one of America's oldest and most sacred bastions of higher education and gateway to the Officer Corps.

It was about a lot of things.
Slavery was the largest, if it was removed it would have destroyed the southern economy and likely the entire country's economy.

Don't ever go to that board so my apologies. This will be more informed and lighthearted so it's separate but equal.
