RE: Removing Confederate Generals portraits?
I had a conversation with another forum member recently and we discussed, with such a small percentage of the Southerners being slaveholders, (I've heard as low as 3% to as high as 10%), why Southern men fought. The consensus was simple - The Yankees came down here fighting and we gave it back to them.
