well im from the Stonewall Jackson Area Council, next
door neighbor to the former R.E. Lee Council in the
good ol' Shenandoah Valley, Breadbasket of the
confederacy. Anyway,with the Robert E. Lee Council
changing its name, most of the people people in SJAC
wooried about our anme changing. Most of the
discussions that i have had with District execs, OA
advisors, and even the Council exec and Council
President have said that there has been no and there
will be no discussion about changing the name for a
loooooooooong time. The Robert E. Lee flaps arent that
hard to get...everyone ahs bulked up on them and are
selling them for less than what they are worth...
o...i ma alos a confederate reenactor and ive been
reading some of the hisorty stuff posted... slavery was
not much of an issue...it was more States Rights and
all that... Also the North and the South evolved very
differently economically wise and states would have
wanted out anyways...the slavery thing though is
crock...Abe Lincoln, the great Emancipator, siad if i
have to free every slae to keep this nation together i
will, if i have to continue slavery to keep the nation
together, then i will" Also, Yankee troops had the
saying...(excuse the language...but this is one of
those History not PC things)..."we fight for Uncle Sam
not Uncle Sambo/ Nigger (ive heard both) Jeffereson
Davis also had a clause in the CSA government document
thing about freeing slaves after the end of the war and
there were numerous blacks who fought for the CSA, just
because you can still fight for the love of your
homeland...
