Mississippi Governor Declares April 'Confederate Heritage Month'

Two weeks before the Mississippi Legislature allowed 19 state flag bills to die in committee, Gov. Phil Bryant took out a pen and signed an official governor's proclamation, declaring the month of April "Confederate Heritage Month," a routine occurrence in Mississippi and several other southern states.

The proclamation, which does not appear on the State of Mississippi's website with other proclamations, such as about emergency inclement weather, is posted on the website of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which is ferociously against changing the Mississippi flag to remove the Confederate battle flag—which supporters like to call the "Beauregard flag"—from its canton.

By the way April has always been Confederate History Month in many Southern States. They also Celebrate a Confederate Memorial Day, or did at one time.

God Bless Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis!

Civil War General and President Ulysses S. Grant owned several slaves who were only freed after the 13th amendment in December of 1865. When asked why he didn’t free his slaves earlier, Grant stated that “Good help is so hard to come by these days.”

Many of us in Maryland and South of the Mason Dixon Line have ancestors that fought for the Confederacy and they are or should be proud of their heritage. Only the ignorant ones that have been indoctrinated in the Public School Systems for the last 20 years are very ignorant to the History of the South. If you are a true Southerner you will love your heritage, the South and the Confederacy without falling for the Liberal brainwashing of today's Democrats. Especially the radical black Democrats who keep pushing Political Correctness on us. Don't be a Pu$$y and let them make you feel guilty for nothing.
