I recommend yellow paint be applied to all loser flags.
Still competing with Florida and Arkansas and Louisiana for shittiest state. Winning.
A shithole state so bad, it’s worse than Alabama.
Bruh simpsons lasted longer than confederacy. There is mo heritage there.
Yeah. Not just longer. But waaaaay longer. Like, over +30 years longer.
Imagine celebrating something 150+ years later that lasted ~4 years, was a total failure and, at least as of right now, the biggest blemish on American History.
Just a reminder that Mississippi did not ratify the thirteenth amendment until 2013.
I mean, if they want a month long reminder that they’re a bunch of losers, I guess I’m ok with that.
The confederacy are the most widely celebrated giant losers of all time, and it isn’t even close.
There are more monuments commemorating their failure than there are commemorating most successes
Such as, famously, the Statue of Liberty. But that’s never taught in schools, of course
You can thank Wilson for most of those. He also used the presidency to re-found the KKK. He also was one of the authors of the Lost Cause Southern Revisionist BS.
Are they going to have a “Slavery and Treason Parade”?
Heritage of taking a fat fuckin L
What a shithole state
Can confirm, unfortunately I grew up and live here.
Live in nearby Memphis. Biggest cesspool on planet Earth
Why not call it Racist Hillbilly month instead?
Everyone knows that’s the definition of “Confederate”
A member of the Rankin Greys, a Sons of Confederate Veterans camp based in Florence, Mississippi, announced the proclamation in on April 18.
The SCV annually asks governors to issue the Confederate Heritage Month proclamations.
The SCV is a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which promotes a revisionist version of history that whitewashes the Confederacy’s racist past and downplays the role of slavery in the Civil War. SCV owns and operates Beauvoir, the museum and historic home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis; the organization annually receives $100,000 from the State of Mississippi for development and maintenance.
I hate Mississippi Nazis.
How long did the confederacy last again, 4 years? Really need a month to recognize a screwball government that only lasted through one presidential term’s worth of time?
It’s their “heritage” they want to celebrate though…
So literally slave ownership. That’s it.
The answer is of course no.
A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union.
In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.
“But, states’ rights!”
Yeah, states’ rights to own slaves.
Isn’t that every month down there?
