Happy Confederacy Defeat Day

Two seventy-five year old women, being born and dying one right after the other.

 

There are people so old, they've actually met and talked to Civil War veterans. Veteran benefits are still paid out to one of the children of Civil War veterans.

From 5/9/14 (anniversary of the official end of the war):

 

The real confederate flag.

¡Felicidades, Estados Unidos de Norte América!

<s> Why can I see this Hangout thread? </s>
Why is this in the D&D?

There's some math that's not right there.

I think one is born and dies, and then the other one is born just after, but... is still alive, isn't she?

 

Fantastic post!

 

Awesome. I guess I can tell Jerry Patterson and whatever other politicians want a Confederate license plate that I already have one!

 

The south will rise again........when the illegals over run it

 

its been 150 years since the civil war but lot of things still left over from that era like the black community and it's problems and federalism/states' rights.

 

It's been about 200 years since the end of the Spanish Inquisition but I still have a problem with burning people alive.

Wow... What a waste of money.

"The way things stand, things in the Deep South almost have to get better. Otherwise, the people who live there will devolve into preverbal, overall-wearing sub-morons within a century," said Professor Dennis Lassiter of Princeton University. "Either Southerners will start improving themselves, or they'll be sold to middle-class Asians as pets."

Lol...

 

bigtexxx is sad

 

150 years ago the American government defeated domestic terrorist pretending to be nation builders

 

U S A! U S A! U S A! Thank you, Lincoln and Grant.

 

They put the memorial on MLK Drive? Really?

 

Closet racist: "something... something... state's rights... something... not slavery... derp".

 

There's a long history in the South of naming streets & putting memorials for Confederates in the non-white parts of town. I thought that was a thing of the past.
