the party of abraham lincoln is acting like the party of jefferson davis, the governor of virginia has decreed april as confederate history month. here's how it is described, the four-year war between the states for independence. his proclamation speaks of confederate leaders who, quote, fought for their homes and communities and commonwealth. but how they were overwhelmed by the insurmountable numbers and resources of the union army. nothing about forced labor under the whil or chains that whipped people. that outlawed any education for the slaves. nothing about the wickedness of the institution that lay at the heart of the civil war. nothing about the more than 600,000 people who lay dead as a result of it. as a result of the confederate leaders, who told their people they had to fight because abraham lincoln and the republican party had won the white house. how about a little education here along with this reverence for the cause?
