Over 100 busts, statues, columns, and other memorials to the Confederacy and Confederate general and politicians have been removed around the country. Some were unlawfully torn down, defaced, or damaged by mobs. Others have been removed officially by state and local governments. A statue of Robert E. Lee was recently removed from the U.S. Capitol building’s National Statuary Hall, where each state is invited to present statues of two notable persons from the state.
The Senate has passed a bill that would change the names of military bases (mostly Army installations) like Ft Bragg, Ft Hood, and Ft Benning, each named after Confederate generals. A poll in June conducted by ABC News and Ipsos found public opinion was firmly (56 percent) on the side of not making name changes. Yet, two-thirds of black Americans favored these bases being renamed.
And it demonstrates to both sides that the confederate army is still a formidable fighting force capable of defeating its adversary, but the confederates fail in their ultimate objective of wiping out union forces in the area. the rebels overwhelming victory at chickamauga represents hope for the confederacy, but that hope fades as the union army is allowed to retreat to chattanooga. having lost their best chance to regain control of the war, rebel generals pin the blame on one of their own. mr. president, this general has lost us our last opportunity. the federals were in our grasp, and bragg just let them slip away. he has lost the confidence and the morale of this army, and he must be removed to another command immediately,
Or we will lose everything we gained at chickamauga. jefferson davis considered himself something of a military genius, and so he would often intervene in his armies. davis did not trust longstreet. general longstreet, it s not so simple as placing general bragg at another command. you have no idea the political and public pressures i must contend with. all the public wants is success, and if you cannot give it to them, the end of this confederacy is assured. jefferson davis allows braxton bragg to hold onto his command despite the urging of his many generals, who request that he be removed. so, unlike lincoln, who listens to his generals and heeds their advice, davis tends to micromanage, putting belief in his own military genius, and his allegiance to old friends like bragg guide him to poor decisions
Entire position to the protection of the confederate army, and not just any confederate army, the army of northern virginia. without robert e. lee, there is no jeff davis. i will stay, mr. president. good, very good. we have a crisis in the west. if general bragg does not stop the yankees at tennessee, they will march on atlanta. i will send general longstreet. the confederacy knew that they can t destroy the army of the potomac because it s got way too good a supply base, so they peel off an entire corps of the army of northern virginia, send it over to georgia and reinforce bragg s army of tennessee. the loss at chickamauga stuns the union,
