The fact that Sherman is celebrated by some affiliated with the University is appalling

This stuff has gone way over the line. You can't deny history. Any reasonable mind would understand The South had a very legitimate concern over the rape it was being handed.
Ones that don't understand the intracacies of The Civil War are the ones that are quick-draw to brining these pieces of history down.

Completely agree... that POS in the Mayors office down in NOLA, Nicki Haley, Robert Bentley etc. pandering for votes at the expense of history and culture was disgusting. They and those advocating for such are no better than the Nazis burning books in the 30's...

I guess I have to explain for what seems like the 100th time that the Bengal Tiger in Louisiana Military Heraldry goes back to 1838 with the formation of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, which is still in the order of battle of the US Army...the unit crests of the 141st and 935th Field Artillery have a Bengal Tiger in them...

Dan Hardesty and Pete Finney both said the Washington Artillery was one of the sources of the Tiger nickname...

then I guess the SJWs want to insult the memory of Claire Chennault and the Flying Tigers, which were a group of Americans who volunteered to protect people of another race...

I'm surprised F'king Alexander isn't leading the charge to change the name.

well, considering that he played a major part of ensuring the University survived in the 1870's, I think he's well worth celebrating...
