In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?

20% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.

80% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.

0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

    I read a book about the estimated 50,000 Black soldiers who wore the CSA uniform and fought in numerous battles.

    Forgotten Confederates: An Anthology About Black Southerners, Vol. 14 (Journal of Confederate History Series)Jun 1997 - by Charles K. Barrow and J. H. Segars

    Most of us know the Civil War did not end at Appomattox, although all I see is Gen Lee and Gen Grant paintings.

    The time line is as follows:

      • April 9, 1865 Gen. Lee surrendered to General Grant

      • April 18, 1865 Gen. Johnson surrendered to Gen. Sherman

      • And the Cherokees were the last to surrender.

      • June 23, 1865 Cherokee Gen Stand Waite and the Cherokee Mounted Rifles surrendered to Lt-Col Asa Matthews.

      • Aug 20, 1866 Pres. Andrew Johnson declared the war over.

    Maybe these groups are not totally forgotten.

    May 10 is Confederate Memorial Day in North Carolina.

Good question. I plan to visit Americana Brazil where 20,000 Confederates emigrated in 1867. I understand Texas has legal rights as a Republic to separate back to an independent country. Love it or leave it might be easier than I thought.
