RE: Removing Confederate Generals portraits?
No, it isn't wrong.
A well-treated slave is a slave nonetheless. I can't see how giving someone opportunities and not freedom is any more benevolent. Brooks Simpson, a highly respected Civil War historian in Arizona, wrote the other day on his blog about the questions surrounding slavery. Brooks has an ongoing issue with a rather obtuse person and is not one to suffer any fools gladly, so he can be somewhat acerbic. Yet that doesn't mean he's wrong. https://cwcrossroads.wordpress.com/2013/...n-slavery/ Changing minds on this is futile, so I'm through on this topic. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
