I don't have a dog in that fight. I wasn't alive then and those circumstances don't affect me today. They are the past.
What does affect me is the liberal/progressive mindset of those northern states, which everyone is trying to leave and come to the southern states for a quieter pace of life. Problem is, they bring their way of thinking, which isn't compatible with the southern lifestyle.

Depending on how old you are, either you or your parents weren't allowed to drink from white drinking fountains not too long ago. Is that a fact that makes you PROUD?
People don't move to the south because they want a quieter pace, they do it because their old bones can't take the northern winters, or they're out of money and have to move where it's cheap because it sucks there.
The southern lifestyle was separate schools, bathrooms, and water fountains for people like you, hanging you from trees for flirting with a white woman, flags that remind everyone that you fought for slavery, and statues glorifying traitors who fought to keep you in slavery, to remind little black kids who is in charge.
Is it too much to ask that we all wait for the facts and evidence to emerge before assigning a motive and blaming a team?

Why bother? We all know no matter how much evidence against your team there is, it's never enough evidence for you.
