Reading some of those comments I'm thinking: "Reconstruction didn't go far enough."

Thank you for deferring to the history.

The final nail in this coffin is to compare the Confederate constitution with the US Constitution. The only significant difference is enshrining slavery as a constitutional right. They also did some things I kinda agree with, moving much of the Bill of Rights into the body of the constitution itself, but that is really only a structural difference, not a semantic one.

The comments on that video make me sick. Just more revisionist history by the losers, just like the "Confederate Battle Flag" wasn't. It was the battle flag of the First Virginia. So if you are in a specific location in Virginia, then it's true.

I was raised in the deep south by people who preached the same crap as the losers in your comments. I've heard it all before an wasn't at all surprised, just disappointed. But I took history classes, I read a lot, and I think critically.
