WAFB Live Coverage of Robert E Lee Monument

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." George Orwell, 1984

Slavery in the South wasn't AS BAD as the liberals want us to believe. If it was so horrible, why did over 70% of former slaves, when interviewed by the US Govt after the war, say that their lives were better before the war?

But you'll never read that in the history propaganda books produced by northern book publishers. You have to look at the actual survey conducted by the northern led government.

I'm not saying slavery is good, but the people that demonize the South simply because slavery existed refuse to acknowledge the truths surrounding it.

we were immediately taken before Gen. Lee, who demanded the reason why we ran away; we frankly told him that we considered ourselves free; he then told us he would teach us a lesson we never would forget; he then ordered us to the barn, where, in his presence, we were tied firmly to posts by a Mr. Gwin, our overseer, who was ordered by Gen. Lee to strip us to the waist and give us fifty lashes each, excepting my sister, who received but twenty; we were accordingly stripped to the skin by the overseer, who, however, had sufficient humanity to decline whipping us; accordingly Dick Williams, a county constable, was called in, who gave us the number of lashes ordered; Gen. Lee, in the meantime, stood by, and frequently enjoined Williams to lay it on well,an injunction which he did not fail to heed; not satisfied with simply lacerating our naked flesh, Gen. Lee then ordered the overseer to thoroughly wash our backs with brine, which was done.

Yeah sounds like his issue might have been that slavery was too kind and humane.

How long before the name changes back to Tivoli Circle? Lee Circle will be a stupid name now.
