Myths about the Confederacy! Op-Ed!!

   There are many myths concerning the Confederacy and the War Between the States.

   One is that the Confederates were heroes fighting for the honor of the south. ....Hardly! They were actually traitors, who killed their fellow countrymen from the North in order to attempt to continue the racist slavery laws of their rich neighbors.

   It was mostly poor southern citizens who fought and died, with nothing to gain because they didn't seem to understand there was nothing in it for them.  Brainwashed!  They were not even Rebels with a good cause!

   And the Confederate flag stands for those who were the traitors who brainwashed and led those men into a losing war. The leaders were the rich men who owned slaves and wanted it to continue.  There were no HEROES there!

How is that war different than the Korean or Vietnam war? Not to mention all of the battles against the different native Indian tribes? The poor have ALWAYS fought and died to protect the rich's interest.
You clearly have an agenda,unfortunately you are not well armed to support it!
