Good for them. Nobody who took part in the greatest number of war deaths in American history should be honored with anything.

Ahh political correctness rears its ugly head once again.

Don't worry kids, you can still wear your Confederate flag T-shirts, just as long as you buy them from Kanye West's store in Los Angeles.

Unbelievable, bravs. We have almost five years of togetherness on this forum and you STILL don't get me. Women are from Venus, men are from Mars.
This particular thread applies to Forrest but I don't care if it's Forrest, Meade, Sherman, Lee or any of the others. These people were responsible for the worst slaughter of Americans in the country's history. 620,000 good Americans died in a civil war, not an enemy attack. Brother v. brother, family v. family. Why can't you acknowledge the horror of this?
You can push out reams of material about NBF but you've completely missed the point. These people only deserve to be footnotes in history, not honored with buildings, statues or their picture on our currency.
It would be a refreshing change to see some of you honor more peacemakers and fewer warmongers, but my cynicism says that's not likely.

Three-quarters of a million Americans killing each other and you think this deserves honor?
New Estimate Raises Civil War Death Toll
"For 110 years, the numbers stood as gospel: 618,222 men died in the Civil War, 360,222 from the North and 258,000 from the South — by far the greatest toll of any war in American history. But new research shows that the numbers were far too low.
By combing through newly digitized census data from the 19th century, J. David Hacker, a demographic historian from Binghamton University in New York, has recalculated the death toll and increased it by more than 20 percent — to 750,000."

I'll believe Christie cares about naming things after people who did "bad" things when she campaigns to change the name of this school:
What do Byrd and Truman have to do with the Civil War and almost a million deaths?

Truman had far more deaths on his hands when he ordered Hiroshima and Nagasaki to become glow in the dark parking lots (wish we could have done that to Moscow at that time, though).

Well guess what. I totally agree with you on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Truman should have been indicted for war crimes. The ugly truth about H & N is just now starting to come out.
If "H" = Hillary, who's "N"?

Yeah, really old. And don't forget fat, ugly, bad hair, no style, and falling-down drunk on vodka every night.
You're pathetic.
So you're OK with Democrats who were in the KKK having things named for them. Got it.

One thing. I said Moscow should have been nuked. this way communism would not be able to rear its ugly head the way it did.

Nobody should be nuked.
Unless the nukes in question supply the electricity that powers Christies laptop so she can post her Civil War poutrage...or the freezer she keeps her 2 liter plastic bottles of vodka in...or the hair dryer that frizzes her hair...
Interesting. You'd think the libs would honor their heritage. I guess you assholes hate all aspects of historical accuracy, don't you?
