Cherokee Nation Debates Its Confederate Statue: How To Re-Dedicate Monuments Meaningfully
Alan: People ask: "Are we supposed to take down Mount Rushmore?"
The answer is "No."
No one on Mount Rushmore was a seditious traitor to The United States of America.
None of those men conspired to tear the nation apart as surely as ISIS and Vladimir Putin do.
The "hinge" is secession, and by virtue of secession, the declared intention to destroy The United States of America.
Despite my admiration for Lincoln, I never understood his ferocious determintion to "preserve the Union."
I think the South in 1860 (like the South today) would eventually beg readmittance to the United States if secession went unchallenged and the Confederate States Of America had been peaceably established..
The Bible Belt -- as evidenced by its election of neo-Confederate, white supremacist Donald Trump -- is no prettier today than it has ever been.
Over time, I do not see The South stewing in its bitter juice - born of Slavery and White Supremacy -- without eventually deciding to re-enter the Union.
