In the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) has taken the time to declare April “Confederate Heritage Month.”
The proclamation came two days after Reeves changed his position and issued a statewide ordering shutting down nonessential businesses and ordering residents to stay home, according to the Jackson Free Press.
Reeves’ proclamation says April is the month when, in 1861, “the American Civil War began between the Confederate and Union armies, reportedly the costliest and deadliest war ever fought on American soil.”
In 2016, then-Gov. Phil Bryant (R) signed a similar proclamation, although that one placed responsibility for the Civil War squarely on the shoulders of the Confederacy: “April is the month when the Confederate states began and ended a four-year struggle.” Reeves’ proclamation, as the Jackson Free Press noted, seems to spread the blame around.

Racist POS! 
Do we really need this shit right now? Or ever?
If so, tRump will want to send representatives to sell campaign paraphernalia......
woodworking projects around the house. I always seem to need wood that is longer and larger than my car can carry. If I ever get a truck, it will be so tempting to put that flag in it so when the local pro-confederate assholes ask me what it means, I can tell them this. They might try to shoot me to death, but the looks on their faces right before they try to shoot me would be priceless. I'm the type that never misses an opportunity to kick any hornet's nest I can. I guess you have to know me to see how I might actually manage to pull it off. Still, you owe me a new keyboard.
