Why hasn't Massachusetts declared April "Victory over the Slavers" month? I had Canadian ancestors who came down here to fight against slavery. They died at Gettysburg. They did not come down to the States to fight for preservation of the Union. They fought and died to eliminate slavery. Union soldiers sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic as they went into battle: "We died to set men free."
The Republican Governors of numerous former traitor states (not just Virginia) have declared April "Confederate History Month." If they are going to honor their commitment to slavery shouldn't we honor our commitment to freedom?
