Breaking News: After white nationalists and neo-Nazis faced off with counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va., a state of emergency was declared

The governor of Virginia declared a state of emergency in Charlottesville on Saturday as a protest of a plan to remove a statue of a Confederate general turned violent, leaving several people injured and threatening to plunge the area into chaos.

Protesters clashed in the historic college town on Saturday, as white nationalists — some waving Confederate flags, chanting Nazi-era slogans, wearing helmets and carrying shields — converged on the statue of Robert E. Lee in the city’s Emancipation Park and the surrounding streets, and as the police retreated. The protest was the apparent culmination of more than a year of debate and division over the fate of the statue.

Most of these young people involved have no real understanding of the Civil War or its causes.
They are brainwashed into believing the simple premise that it was all about slavery.
Wrong. There were many politicians in the north who still owned slaves.

The Civil War was about States' rights and their desire to withdraw from the Union of States.
The Southern States found the Federal government to be too intrusive in their business and sovereignty.
