Southern Americans have a unique heritage. One hundred and fifty years ago, our forefathers felt that the northern states were unjustly impeding their rights. Just like the colonists did that founded our nation, they rebelled and separated from the union. Over the next four years, many of them died to protect their beliefs. This has nothing to do with racism. It had nothing to do with slavery. The War of Northern Aggression was fought for the exact same reasons as the Revolutionary War. Get a history book and educate yourself if you disagree. Today as a southern American, my history is under fire. People are attempting to remove the Confederate history altogether. It has started with a battle flag that was flown only going into battle. Now they are trying to change names of State parks which bears the names of any Confederate General. They are trying to remove the carving from Stone Mountain which depicts three of the greatest military leaders this country has ever seen. We must make our voice heard to our state capitol. Please sign this petition so we can. Thank you.

Keep our heritage and don't forget the people who died in the war between the states. Approximately 620,000 soldiers died from combat, accident, starvation, and disease during the Civil War. This number comes from an 1889 study of the war performed by William F. Fox and Thomas Leonard Livermore. Both men fought for the Union. Their estimate is derived from an exhaustive study of the combat and casualty records generated by the armies over five years of fighting. A recent study puts the number of dead as high as 850,000. MARK MY WORDS .... IT WON'T BE MUCH LONGER AND SOMEONE WILL BE GOING AFTER THE AMERICAN FLAG! :-((
This is a beautiful historical piece of art work. Generations of artists contribute to it's construction. Destroying it will not change any part of our sad American history but will forever make future generation question the actions of the past generations. Erasing our true history is very dangerous. All Americans must stand up to protect our true history and see that it is not destroyed by anyone as with time what will be let to remind future generations. Leave it as a stark reminder to all that view it's face! The south will never rise again in the matter of slavery if we are forever reminded of its horrors and the raise of the north to stop it.
Why is it "political correct" liberals insist U.S. history be re-written? Better to teach our kids to honor and respect the truth of history.
The only thing people learn from history is the fact that people don't learn from history. My stomach turns and could not watch those ignorant people removing the flag in S.C. It is a sad day in history today .. July 10, 2015
Keep our flag flying!!!!

The Confederacy is part of our history. Unfortunately there are groups of people who have a political agenda that wants to revise and rewrite American history.
