Yeah, when they said the monument would be coming down between 9 and 5, they meant literally it would be coming down during that entire time, not just at some point between 9 and 5.

Depending on which version of history you believe, the one thing you cannot deny is the bravery of men (White & Black) fighting to the death against an invading force, despite being severely outnumbered & outgunned.

The North had all the manufacturing centers w/ the most modern weapons, & the Southern farmers had to piece together make-shift weapons for the most part & put up a valiant short-handed fight against what they believed was an unjust invasion that jeopardized the lives of both proletariat & slave alike

One day the North is complicit w/ them in slavery, buying goods from the South, & the next day they were fighting against them (with slaves on both sides fighting for their regions)?

Nobody is debating that human slavery is awful; it's the hypocritical narrative the North pushed to justify the war that skews history & is disingenous at best.

really needed the full backing of the French

when the French decided against recognizing the CSA government... it was done

Mitch is so obviously vying for a national spot at the grievance table.

It's rather disgusting.

Instead of using a torch or pneumatic impact in Louisiana a hammer and duck will fix anything.

So how's traffic looking now that this has gone into rush hour?

I used to live near Lee Circle so I know the warehouse district is fricked.

This is on management. Apparently crappy (or no) plan, no process to follow. I actually feel bad for the guys in the manlift.

Did they just pull up a pair of wrenches?

So they went up there, presumably having looked at blueprints, and didn't think to bring a wrench for the bolts?
