With the state of the country, I think it is shameful for Senator Ford of Charleston to introduce this bill. I understand that the Civil War and the Confederacy is part of American History. However the only reason that Senator Ford is introducing this is because he has aspirations to run for governor. I believe that the Confederacy albeit history, represents the dark days of this country. With this said the Confederacy should not be celebrated as a state holiday but should be celebrated in text books and museums. What do you think?
