Illinois Fears Band’s Name Might Be Offensive
The latest conflict involves the state of Illinois and Confederate Railroad, a popular country and southern rock band.
It seems that Confederate Railroad has been booted from an upcoming appearance at the DuQuoin State Fair Grandstand, according to television station WSIL.
The Pinckneyville Press reports that the band’s August 27th performance was canceled over “racial sensitivity concerns.”
In other words, somebody was triggered by the band’s name. And to be even more specific, they were triggered by the word “Confederate.”

We have become a country of thin skinned wimps
Guess it's time for Illinois to give its name back to the Indian tribe it was culturally appropriated from. Perhaps henceforth as State of SmulletZeroSoetoro.
Everything is about sensitivity and racism now. WTF has happened to us as a society? If you don't like something, just play those cards. So sad!!
They probably should cancel Shenandoah, as well. After all, the Shenondoah Valley played a big part in the War Between the States.
Guilty of "Driving while White!"

So did Gettysburg. Maybe we should kick them out of Pennsylvania.

Confederate Railroad was one of the best country bands coming out of the 1990's. Much better than that fake country crap coming out now like Florida Georgia Line.
Here is one of their best singles. They are definitely one of the best down to earth groups out there.
