the texas centennial would have covered back to 1836 and this is therefore part of texas history. now that the statue's gone, i'm sure we'll see an immediate healing in the wounds of the civil war. we'll also see a measurable decrease in racist behavior observed in whites.

I also read some blurb which might very well be RW propaganda, but according to some, lee was against secession but once his generals called on it, he went full speed ahead. I suppose I should read and link instead of claim.
