Dear Ms. Lunelle,
A supporter of murdering, plundering, raping, sacking, and burning thugs of Lincoln's army, one Hugh Hewitt would go to YouTube and make the statement that Military Bases named for treasonous people should be renamed, pushing the lie that the Honorable and patriotic men of the Confederate armed forces were treasonous people when there was not one ever tried for treason.
In fact, under the Declaration of Independence and the 10th Amendment of the Constitution, secession was legal. Places like YouTube freely give thugs like Hewitt a platform to spit out his lies, while forever using Southern black folk as the weapon of choice to justify the slander. Does he expect the southern people to remain in an unbalanced, dangerous and damaging “union” enduring continual abuse from greedy from Northern interests?
Not one, to include Hewitt, can look in the mirror and not see the son of a former slave, or the son of a former slave owner…the whole world has been complicit in the international institution of slavery.
And even now, damn Yankee haters are allowing their children to discredit the name, memory, and accolades presented to the Honorable President Thomas Jefferson; an American Statesman, diplomat, lawyer, architect, philosopher, and Founding Father who served as the third President from 1801 to 1809. He was previously the second Vice President under John Adams and the first United States Secretary of State under George Washington. The principal author of the Declaration of Independence ( 1776), he wrote a Bill establishing religious freedom enacted in 1786. He opposed a strong centralized Government and championed the rights of States. And not to forget, he was born in Virginia. All this…Jefferson was just TOO Southern - he MUST be cancelled!
And let us not forget the 31st Infantry (Dixie Division) who was part of the United States National Guard active almost continuously from 1917 to 1968. In almost 100 years of service the 31st Infantry regiment played a role in every major conflict and military operation proudly displaying the Confederate Battle flag either on their regalia or flying. Alabama elements were Federalized to ensure school integration during 1963 and to keep order during the Selma to Montgomery marches of 1965.
Poverty Pimps and Reconstruction minded haters like the Mayors of Enfield, North Carolina, and New Orleans, Louisiana who care nothing about the rule of law or breaking it do a great disservice to the honorable people they claim to represent and to their place of honor earned beside a man they not only called Master, but also family and friend before, during and after the War for Southern Independence. Hewitt and the rest be damned for their libel. God bless you!
Your brother,
