A federal judge on Monday temporarily barred the removal of a memorial to Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery after a push from a citizens group and some GOP lawmakers.
The temporary restraining order, issued by U.S. District Judge Rossie D. Alston Jr. in Alexandra, Va., comes just one day after a group called Defend Arlington, which is affiliated with a group called Save Southern Heritage Florida, filed a suit against the Department of Defense seeking a restraining order against the memorial’s removal.
It is set to expire at 5 p.m. Wednesday following an expected hearing Wednesday morning.
My honors US history professor taught us the Civil War was all about trade. Well, yeah, that was certainly an important part, Northern industry vs. agrarian South. It was a huge part of the war, both how it started and how it played out.
By FFS, did the man never read the various states letters of succession?! Here go a few.
And seriously people, read those letters. Don’t clap yourself on the back for regurgitating, “It was SLAVERY!” Come at it from a learned point of view or you’re no better than anyone else talking shit.
