You know, I hold no brief for the Confederacy, but haven’t we slipped through the looking-glass when the “Museum of the Confederacy,” which is a museum memorializing, well, the Confederacy, wants to drop the Confederacy from its name?

Certainly slavery was a very dark period in our history, but it also is part of what made us what we are today. I haven’t visited this museum, but I am sure it is not advotating a return to slavery or extolling its virtues. Keep the name, like 9/11, we need to be reminded.
Call it the John C. Calhoun Museum.

I understand that there is a theoretic argument that the 14th wasn’t properly ratified, but at the end of the day it comes down to the fact that the states that ratified it at bayonet point had just engaged in treason. So their claim isn’t exactly sympathetic.
By the way, I looked closely at this photo of the 14th amendment on wikkipedia, and for the life of me, I can’t see the stitches. Them is some damn good seamstresses!
