A lot of people do not understand why the south still hangs on to the Confederacy so hard.
Well, it is their history, both good and bad.
To have that stripped away, well, it can make you angry if your family has history that is tied to that era.
Erase It All
Those individuals are probably talking to themselves right now after the Navy decided to rename two ships that had Confederate-linked monikers.
The USNS Maury, an oceanographic survey ship, has been re-named in honor of Marie Tharp.
The Navy also renamed a warship formerly known as USS Chancellorsville to the USS Robert Smalls.
Maury was a former Navy Commander who refused to fight against Virginia.
Chancellorsville was Robert E. Lee’s greatest victory during the Civil War.
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro explained, “The renaming of these assets is not about rewriting history, but to remove the focus on the parts of our history that don’t align with the tenets of this country.”
That is not going to sit well with a lot of southerners.
They are sick and tired of having every bit of their history erased or hidden, but that is not going to change anytime soon.
As far as this administration is concerned, the pages in history regarding the confederacy need to be completely ripped out of the history books.
