       Make the Confederacy’s Defeat a National Holiday
       150 years ago this week, Robert E. Lee surrendered to the Union.
       Let's celebrate it—every year.

       greater expression of faith in the American experiment than
       this?&rdquo; President Barack Obama <a
       href="
  HTML https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/03/07/remarks-president-50th-anniversary-selma-montgomery-marches"<br
       />target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">said</a>. &ldquo;What
       greater form of patriotism is there than the belief that America
       is not yet finished, that we are strong enough to be
       self-critical, that each successive generation can look upon our
       imperfections and decide that it is in our power to remake this
       nation to more closely align with our highest
       ideals?&rdquo;</p>&#13;<p>This was both a rejection of the
       fairytale America perpetuated by American conservatives, in
       which national virtue overwhelms sin, and a statement of faith
       in the country&rsquo;s robust capacity for self-improvement. And
       he delivered it in Selma, Alabama&mdash;a Southern city whose
       folksy name evokes state-sanctioned, state-administered violence
       against black citizens&mdash;on the fiftieth anniversary of
       Bloody Sunday. Selma would be a perverse venue for celebrating
       the Jingo&rsquo;s exceptional America, but it was the perfect
       backdrop for Obama&rsquo;s more nuanced rendering: the convening
       point of the march to Montgomery, on a bridge named after Edmund
       Pettus&mdash;a vicious white supremacist, who committed treason
       against the United States as a Confederate general, and later
       terrorized former slaves as an Alabama Klansman and Democratic
       Senator.</p>&#13;<p>In the self-critical America of
       Obama&rsquo;s imagination, more people would know about the
       Edmund Pettus bridge and its namesake. The bridge itself
       wouldn&rsquo;t necessarily be renamed after Martin Luther King
       or John Lewis or another civil rights hero; because it is
       synonymous with racist violence, the bridge should bear
       Pettus&rsquo;s name eternally, with the explicit intent of
       linking the sins of the Confederacy to the sins of Jim Crow. But
       Obama&rsquo;s America would also reject the romantic reimagining
       of the Civil War, and thus, the myriad totems to the Confederacy
       and its leaders that pockmark the South, most of which
       don&rsquo;t share the Pettus bridge&rsquo;s incidental
       association with the struggle for civil
       rights.</p>&#13;</div>&#13;</div>&#13;<div class="full-width

       class="article-text-grid">&#13;<p>This week provides an occasion
       for the U.S. government to get real about history, as April 9 is
       the 150th anniversary of the Union&rsquo;s victory in the Civil
       War. The generous terms of Robert E. Lee&rsquo;s surrender to
       Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House foreshadowed a
       multitude of real and symbolic compromises that the winners of
       the war would make with secessionists, slavery supporters, and
       each other to piece the country back together. It&rsquo;s as
       appropriate an occasion as the Selma anniversary to reflect on
       the country&rsquo;s struggle to improve itself. And to mark the
       occasion, the federal government should make two modest changes:
       It should make April 9 a federal holiday; and it should commit
       to disavowing or renaming monuments to the Confederacy, and its
       leaders, that receive direct federal support.</p>&#13;<hr
       class="section-break" />&#13;<p>Two years ago, writing in
       <em>The New York Times</em> on the occasion of Memorial Day,
       Jamie Malanowski <a
       href="
  HTML http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/opinion/sunday/misplaced-honor.html"<br
       />target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">proposed
       recommemorating
       10 Southern U.S. Army bases</a> that bear the names of
       Confederate officers. These include both obscure
       fighters&mdash;like Edmund Rucker, who is commemorated more for
       his successes as a post-war industrialist than as a
       combatant&mdash;and extremely prominent warriors for the cause
       of slavery&mdash;like P. G. T. Beauregard, whose men fired the
       first shots at Fort Sumter; and A. P. Hill, who made an example
       of race mixers by parading hundreds of captured Union soldiers,
       black and white, through the taunting streets of Petersburg,
       Virginia. As Malanowski explained, all of the bases were built
       during the world-war mobilizations in the first half of the 20th
       century. The responsibility for naming them fell to people with
       antiquated racial views and blinkered memories of the Civil War
       itself.</p>&#13;<p>It&rsquo;s unfathomable that anyone today
       would attempt to name a new military installation, or rename an
       old one, after a Confederate general. But at the time these
       bases were named, there wasn&rsquo;t nearly as much of a
       consensus behind the argument that the Confederates committed
       treason against the United States in support of a war for
       slavery.</p>&#13;<p>That lack of consensus was an ineluctable
       consequence of concerted postbellum efforts to sand down the
       seams reuniting the states. There was a real but inadequate
       constituency for crushing the Southern establishment after the
       Civil War, and reintegrating the country under an entirely
       different paradigm. Instead, the North enabled the South by
       giving it unusual influence over shaping the official mythology
       of the war. Yes, the South surrendered. The states ratified the
       13th Amendment. The Union survived. These facts couldn&rsquo;t
       be altered. But memorializing the rebellion as a tragedy of
       circumstance, or a bravely fought battle of
       principle&mdash;those narratives were adopted in part for the
       unspoken purpose of making the reunion stick. &ldquo;You lost,
       we won, and we&rsquo;re all living in the USA,&rdquo; Talking
       Point Memo&rsquo;s Josh Marshall <a
       href="

       />target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">once wrote</a>.
       &ldquo;But we&rsquo;ll let you win in the battle of memory and
       valor and nostalgia.&rdquo;</p>&#13;<p>People of good faith can
       argue over whether these kinds of symbolic concessions (as
       opposed to the concrete ones, which consigned emancipated slaves
       to a century of sanctioned depredations) were wise or necessary
       means to the end of preserving the Union. Some of them
       weren&rsquo;t concessions at all, so much as insufficient
       commitment on the part of Northerners to the livelihood of
       blacks in the South. &ldquo;&#91;A&#93;s Northern Republican
       Party became more conservative,&rdquo; historian Eric Foner <a

       />target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wrote recently</a>,
       &ldquo;Reconstruction came to be seen as a misguided attempt to
       uplift the lower classes of society.&rdquo; But 150 years on, we
       know that subjugation is a moral obscenity, and that
       there&rsquo;s no valid modern argument for spitshining the
       Confederacy.</p>&#13;</div>&#13;</div>&#13;<div

       class="article-text-grid">&#13;<p>Today, the South is home to
       innumerable counties, schools, and other monuments named in
       honor of Confederate men, or established to celebrate the
       Confederacy itself. The federal government can&rsquo;t change
       that on its own, but it can refuse to participate in the
       celebration. It could rename these 10 army installations after
       Union fighters. It could remove monuments to the Confederacy (as
       opposed to museums and landmarks) from the National Register of
       Historic Places, and disclaim any obligation to finance their
       maintenance. It could stop producing headstones for Confederate
       graves&mdash;as Steven I. Weiss <a

       year, at a cost of half a million dollars, leaving taxpayers to
       foot the bill for maintaining more Confederate graves and
       monuments than Union ones. It could remove the Confederate
       Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery and place it in the
       custody of the Smithsonian&mdash;or at least end the spectacle
       of the president of the United States bestowing it with a wreath
       every Memorial Day. We aren&rsquo;t being polite to anyone
       worthy of politeness, or advancing any noble end, by continuing
       to honor traitors in this way.</p>&#13;<hr class="section-break"
       />&#13;<p>We know from <a
       href="
  HTML http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/02/06/memphis-parks-confederate-ku-klux-klan/1895549"<br
       />target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">experience</a> that
       there will be resistance to such efforts. Some critics will
       caution that singling out Confederate officers will give way to
       politically correct efforts to sideline other historically
       important Americans. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were
       slaveowners. Shouldn&rsquo;t we expiate their sins by banishment
       as well, starting with the $1 and $2 bills?</p>&#13;<p>But
       figures like Washington and Jefferson fit comfortably within the
       framework of exceptionalism that Obama sketched in Selma, while
       supporters of secession do not. Obama&rsquo;s telling of
       American history is one in which an establishment worthy of
       preservation is continually improved by righteous internal
       forces. You don&rsquo;t need to be morally pristine to be
       immortalized in Obama&rsquo;s America, but you can&rsquo;t be on
       the side of forces that reject the establishment altogether when
       it advances incrementally toward its founding ideals. Likewise,
       those who would caution that a more accurate reckoning with the
       Confederacy would inflame racial tensions are merely restating
       the implication that the country is too weak to be
       introspective. If Obama&rsquo;s expression of American
       exceptionalism is correct about anything, it&rsquo;s that this
       kind of thinking has no merit.</p>&#13;<p>By contrast, the
       Union&rsquo;s victory, and the abolition of slavery, both merit
       celebration as exemplars of American improvement and renewal,
       even if many Unionists weren&rsquo;t moral heroes. These twin
       accomplishments are as worthy of a federal holiday as any
       holiday we already celebrate. So let&rsquo;s name April 9 <a
       href="
  HTML http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/gettyb.asp"<br
       />target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">New Birth of
       Freedom</a>
       Day. And if that creates too much paid leave for government
       workers, we could swap out Columbus Day. We don&rsquo;t yet live
       in the America Obama described, but we should strive
       to.</p>&#13;<p>In a better America, we&rsquo;d all have Thursday
       off. And there would be
       fireworks.</p>&#13;</div>&#13;</div>&#13;<footer

       [center]American History for Truthdiggers: Vietnam, a U.S.
       Tragedy
  HTML https://www.truthdig.com/articles/american-history-for-truthdiggers-vietnam-a-u-s-tragedy/[/center]
       Agelbert COMMENT: Danny, I, like you, went to West Point. Unlike
       you, I hated it so much I deliberately flunked out in my Plebe
       year by getting a "D" in Calculus (math was my favorite subject
       in High School &#128521;). I was lucky. You swallowed the "Corp
       of Cadets", "Duty, Honor, Country" Sucker play completely. I am
       glad that you now see how totally you were taken for a fool by
       the MIC.
       But here is what you are TOTALLY missing in regard to the
       "tragic" number of American deaths in Viet Nam.
       The USMA Class of 68', the one I was part of when I arrived at
       West Point in July of 1964, was the LARGEST USMA CLASS (around
       900 plus) in history. The previous classes had barely been above
       600! Yeah, a certain percentage leaves over 4 years for various
       reasons (i.e. flunking or being "found" or "honor violations"),
       but I am talking about the initial Plebe class size.
       WHY do you think that class was so large, Major? You DO know
       that West Point class sizes are determined over a YEAR in
       advance, don't you? That's right, Major. In 1963, the MIC was
       planning for a GIGANTIC WAR IN VIET NAM. But it gets "better".
       Now then, you DO understand what a "MAM" is, don't you? For
       readers here, it is Military Aged Male. The USA, due to the baby
       boom, had LOTS of us MAMs. MAMS are a "potential unrest problem"
       for MIC controlled governments that wish to avoid being
       threatened by their own people, aren't they, Major. The first
       thing you do to keep a country "pacified" is bop the MAMs, as
       any military murderous killer strategist will calmly explain to
       Army Officers to be.
       .It is NOT just Viet Nam that our MIC bastards wanted to
       "pacify"...
       The &#128520; MIC plans AHEAD. The MIC deliberately made that
       Class of 68 gigantic by previous standards because it was
       PLANNING AHEAD to make sure. LOTS OF MAMS FROM THE USA DIED
       &#9760;&#65039; IN A CONTRIVED WAR which would massively expand
       &#129421; MIC size (and budget!) and its power to profit off of
       war and dead MAMS &#128121;&#128181;&#127913;&#127988;&#8205;
       (on both sides - over 60% of those 4 MILLION people we
       slaughtered in Viet Nam were MAMs) .
       IOW, the MIC WANTED TO sacrifice LOTS of American MAM lives, but
       not just for war profits. WHAT OTHER REASON DID THEY HAVE FOR
       SENTENCING AMERICANS TO COMBAT DEATH? As any fine fellow well
       versed in MIC spawned
  HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-250817135149.gif<br
       />Game Theory will tell you, to keep the new generation from
       making too much noise about creeping tyranny and government
       fascist policies here.
       It worked, Major. DO NOT tell me the humongous class of 68'
       wasn't part of the plan to have a long bloody, very profitable
       war in Viet Nam. IT WAS A TWO-FER to make money and kill
       potentially "dangerous" (to the MIC) MAMS at the same time!
       &#129324; &#128561;
       If you think the death of 58,000 or so Americans was a "tragic"
       effect of the Viet Nam War, you know less than nothing about how
       the MIC works in the USA and how it PLANS AHEAD. Those deaths
       were, along with the massively increade MIC budget SWAG, a
       SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME OF THE MIC VIET NAM WAR PLAN.
       MIC response to the above:.

       Agelbert NOTE:  This is the syllabus for Daniel Sheehan's UCSC
       course titled "The Trajectory of Justice in America: 2019". It
       covers a series of heinous events in American History that you
       may have never heard about, but which you need to know about,
       particulary now (this is not an idle academic exercise - your
       life and that of your offspring depend on obtaining this
       knowledge and using it effectively).
       You will learn of the mindboggling level of corruption in U.S.
       government that consistently causes it to plan, execute and
       defend totally undemocratic, unethical, polluting and murderous
       policies that now threaten our very survival as a species. This
       is not hyperbole.
       It may come as a surprise for you, but this 5 credit hour course
       makes the case that the MAIN reason that Donald Trump must be
       impeached AND removed from the White House is his ecocidal,
       polluter defending policies.
       The Democrats are not given any praise here either. Hillary
       Clinton's policy plans for dealing with climate change were,
       like Obama's, in the right direction, but still inadequate to
       avoid Catastrophic Climate Change.
       The syllabus has lots of links. I didn't copy them. Just go to
       the link at the bottom of this page for complete access.
