Trump Orders Removal of Confederate History Exhibit

[Chernosoth]

Meh. While keyboard warriors bitch and moan, we still have slavery in our prisons. Maybe the political geniuses here can think of something to do about that.

NONE of my people owned slaves. They fought for States Rights. North Carolina only seceded because the North blockaded their ports. You clowns only want to make it about one thing. Read a book.

More whitewashing of history by the Trump administration. This time, Native American history is being erased from Little Bighorn National Monument.

That's weird. Little Bighorn came directly from the treatment of indigenous peoples. It's like the Boston Tea Party not mentioning taxation without representation.

Nonsense. There was no blockade until after secession.

We ALREADY had a problem with the historical honesty/accuracy in the inscriptions at national monuments:

A federal judge, evoking the dystopian world of George Orwell’s novel “1984,” ordered the Trump administration on Monday to return a long-standing exhibit on slavery it removed from a popular historical museum in Philadelphia.

US District Judge Cynthia Rufe, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, included multiple references to Orwell in her ruling granting the City of Philadelphia’s request to restore the exhibit panels to Independence National Historical Park while litigation over their removal continues.

“As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed, with its motto ‘Ignorance is Strength,’ this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not,” Rufe said, referring to the famous novel, which deals with themes of oppression and rigid governmental control.
