Fort Bragg might ditch its Confederate traitor name and be renamed Fort Liberty

gfy, first dv

This will not end well for you.

Why can’t people let go of the past - none of them fought in the civil war and I think everyone is anti-slavery…right?

It makes no sense why we have military bases named after god forsaken traitors to this country.

If half the country rebels to do what they think is right for that country that doesn't make them traitors. No single group gets to decide what constitutes being a traitor. Was Edward Snowden a traitor because he blew the whistle on the intelligence community surveillance state? The intelligence community probably says yes, but your average American probably says no. Who gets to have the say on whether or not Snowden is a traitor?


The confederacy thought they were fighting FOR the country, not against it (and so did the Union). Yes, they were morally wrong in their stances (most notably slavery), but they weren't trying to destroy the country.


A traitor label is for someone trying to betray and destroy the country from which they reside.


To say a confederate soldier from Georgia was a "traitor" you'd be implying he was betraying Georgia and fighting against Georgia. Do you believe that's what he was doing?

slopes, they are never slippery

Lucky for the Confederate scum, Lincoln was far more forgiving of their treason than he should have been or than anyone else would have been. The rivera of the US would have run red with seditious blood, instead he took the moral high road.

Your skyscreaming about Confederate names and statues is precisely why the 3 men you revere are having their names and statues removed. You're a useful tool for their social justice lunacy.

wow! you are real stupid
