Proofreading never was my strong suit.

Check out scv.org if you want to find out what the flags of the confederacy actually meant.Yes, flags of the confederacy.Yes, there were battle flags and several national flags.No the dukes of hazard flag was not the national symbol of the confederacy :)lol

Prolonged would mean something else….though I’m not sure what.

Some who worship at the altar of political correctness try to bury anything related to Virginia’s Confederate past, especially in Richmond, the former capital of the Confederacy, saying that talk of the Confederate era might offend African Americans.

This foolish and short-sighted approach would be like the citizens of Plymouth, Massachusetts, refusing to make money from Pilgrim-era tourism, because the Pilgrims may have exploited some of the Indians.

What better justice would there be, than for the Virginia citizens of today, the offspring of the survivors of that horrific War, to make good livings, in whole or part, through a well orchestrated Confederate era tourism program?

We are in the Twenty-first Century and through no fault or credit to anyone living today, we live in a State with a rich historic legacy. People from all over the world study the War for Southern Independence, and are eager to tour the sites associated with that major facet of our Virginia and National history.

Both candidates for Governor should be talking about how to fully develop this resource and make sure that Virginians of today may profit to the fullest extent by promoting Confederate era tourism.
