Ferdman asked about the Confederate flag to Matthew Gurtel a professor in African and American studies in the civil war aftermath. When Gurtel was asked "what drives the mentality that has angered so many people. Why do people embrace the Confederate flag?" he replied and then said in his opinion "but I also think that people invoke the flag because they want to endorse on some level, even secretly or subconsciously, the very rational for the Confederacy. When people say heritage not hate, they are omitting the obvious, which is heritage is hate. when someone says it 's about history well that particular history is inseparatable from hate. Because

    In Atlanta Ga, Charlottesville Nc, and in every other formerly Confederate State in the U.S. there has been controversial debates on whether or not the current standing Confederate statues should be removed from public areas.

    People want to get rid of a chunk of history that is important to us as Americans. As Chip Reid wrote in this CBS News article, “[...] it is heritage and history[...]” This statement has been said before and its value stands. It truly is heritage for people related to fighters from the Civil War, and it is history because, well, it is from the past and important to Americans. Reid also states that “Should living history programs with confederate Reenactors (and their flags) be banned from National Park service sites?”

  • Argumentative Essay: The Alabama Constitution Of 1875

    765 Words  | 4 Pages

    Though the Alabama Constitution of 1875 came seven short years after the adoption of the previous state constitution, it came under much different circumstances. The Alabama Constitution of 1868 is known as the “reconstruction constitution” because Congress unofficially required the proper changes to be made to the 1865 constitution to be granted their seats in Congress. However, the Constitution of 1875 undid most of this progress as it came just shortly after the federal troops had left the state. The 1875 Constitution showed the desire for Alabama citizens to return to their style of government before the Civil War. Though the 1875 Constitution was not a complete overhaul of the 1868 Constitution, the changes that were made showed the strong

  • Confederate Flag Vs. The Confederate Flag

    543 Words  | 3 Pages

    The issue of the confederate flag has been an important cultural discussion point for some years now, but has recently taken on even greater importance in light of recent hate crimes in South Carolina, as well as rampant police brutality and shootings across the country. Much of the discussion has been an argument between the two schools of thought being that either the flag is a symbol of cultural heritage and nothing more, and the other being that it is a symbol of systematic and violent racism that has no right being in a place of honor and reverence in today’s society. In a way both schools are correct. The Confederate flag is a symbol of southern cultural history; it also happens that that history is a history of systematic and violent racism, starting from the flag’s creation and on to its popular resurgence in the south at the time of desegregation and the civil-rights movement.

    In the news today, a continual debate can be found about the significance of Confederate monuments and if they should remain or be removed. Confederate monuments that have been erected throughout the U.S. should be kept because of the preservation of America’s history. For instance, in the article, The Unbearable Lightness of Confederate-Statue Removal, the author lists how slaveholder monuments aren’t the only statues being vandalized, but the Lincoln Memorial and Mount Rushmore are other symbols of U.S. history that some believe need to “blow up” (Murdock). Every historical symbol can have both people who appreciate it and who oppose it. That doesn’t mean that we should tear down all symbols, but
