Confederate statues

Confederate statues are as much a part of American history, and what some would call culture, as Martin Luther King statues, whether people love them or hate them. Removal of one kind of statue and not the other isn't multiculturalism, it's one group claiming the park the statue sat on as their own, and it will never unify everybody.

As long as a country says one kind of history is okay as long as everybody likes it, but the other is not, the country will remain divided, since one group, or culture, as some would call it, doesn't really respect the other. That isn't multiculturalism, though America has always been a melting pot, and is made of many different groups of the same (human) race. If people have to remove, forget, or pretend something never existed (including Confederate statues) to validate themselves, they don't really respect it, they only respect their own group (or most likely self).

Confederate States

The Confederate States of America, or CSA rebellion government that seceded from the USA to preserve and expand slavery. Before the election of Abraham Lincoln a collection of southern US states became fearful of the growing abolition movement and upon the election of Lincoln to the presidency, chose to break away from the US to form their own government, dedicated to preserving and expanding the institution of slavery. After 4 long years of bloody battle however, they were soundly defeated and soon reintegrated into the US. Even with that defeat however, the veterans of the Confederacy successfully painted the CSA in a brighter light, creating the “Lost Cause” myth. Today the Confederate States are seen in a much harsher light and the major controversy of the statues that the veterans put up is still being fought in the streets of the deep south today.

Confederate statue

A Confederate statue is no more a threat to public safety than a statue of a Civil Rights leader. The statue was never the threat, it's the ppl eople that gather around the statue, no matter their shade of skin, that are a threat to each other. The statues are fine the way they are, they were after all, built by humans.

It's not everybody's problem when someone is offended by a Confederate statue, just like it's not everybody's problem when someone is offended by a statue of a Civil Rights leader. Both kinds of statues should be left alone, if anything people are more of a threat to the statues than the statues are to people.

Confederate New Year

A holiday celebrated by some rural communities (not limited to the South) similar to normal New Year's, but instead of being celebrated annually on a specific date, it's celebrated randomly every few years.

Communities observing this holiday choose it instead of New Year's as the day that marks the change in the calendar year.

This explains why some towns act like it's 1874. Because, well, it's 1874.

Charleston High School in Mississippi held its first integrated prom in 1924 local time, 2008 Eastern.

Most of metro Atlanta's Confederate New Year dates have caught up to New Year dates.
