The shameful removal of monuments honoring those men and boys who gave their lives to defend our Southland against the invader, reveals the ignorance of history that dominates this moment in time. The South acted, under the rights reserved for the states in the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, to voluntarily withdraw from a voluntary Union the states had created. Secession was not treason. That is why Jefferson Davis was not tried for treason. The victorious Union knew they could never get a conviction. These were Southern men of honor who had no desire to overthrow the Federal Government, but only to leave in peace, which was their Constitutional right. The slavery issue as a motivation for the War was only invented in 1863, when Lincoln issued the totally ineffective “Emancipation Proclamation,” which freed not a single slave, but transformed a war of aggression against the Southern states, into a war of liberation. This was a cynical political act with the sole purpose of keeping Great Britain from intervening on the Southern side. Today, the War, and virtually everything else, is seen through the narrow lens of “race.” This single visioned distortion of history prevents the ignorant from understanding the complexities of both past and present, and has led to this orgy of vengeance and violence against our memorials to dead heroes.
"No reasonable officer would have believed that that was an appropriate, acceptable or reasonable use of force," Seth Stoughton, a former police officer and use of force expert, told jurors.
Messaging is important in public health. People who voted for Trump were especially hesitant about a "vaccine passport." But call it a "verification," and more people support it.
Just 12 days after Bhutan launched a nationwide vaccination campaign on March 27, health officials said 93% of eligible adults had received one dose of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine.
Two new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studies shed additional light on the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on communities of color, with implications for vaccine distribution.
