1 thought on “Labor Day weekend: Music and more”
Regarding your post stating the confederate flag is a symbol of slavery and racism, read the letter to the editor on this subject in the Floyd Press.
Regarding the civil war being over slavery, read Paul Craig Roberts:

Oops, propornot identified Paul as a Russian operative, never mind.
Lincoln was a racist, and wanted to send blacks back to Africa. The emancipation proclamation applied to southern slaves only, not ones in territory he controlled. It was an attempt to foment a slave uprising in the south to provide an advantage to the north.
