A favorite tactic of Marxist revolution is to destroy history.

Mao Zedong's policies and actions during the Cultural Revolution and other initiatives led to the destruction of historical records, cultural artifacts, and traditional practices in China. His efforts aimed to purge what he perceived as bourgeois and traditional elements from society, resulting in widespread destruction of historical and cultural heritage.

Launched in 1966, the Cultural Revolution involved the destruction of the "Four Olds" (old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits). This led to the ransacking of museums, the burning of books, and the destruction of religious and cultural sites.

The Russian Bolsheviks did the same thing. Russian society never recovered.

American Bolsheviks have long been attempting to destroy our history to rebuild their own power structure. The destruction of Confederate monuments is exactly that agenda.

For years, civil rights groups and historians have criticized the Stone Mountain park’s approach to memorializing the Civil War and promoting a “lost cause” version of Confederate history. While largely dismissing calls to remove the bas-relief carving, the state-run association has taken steps in recent years to de-emphasize its glorification of the Confederacy, including removing the carving from its official logo and relocating a prominent display of Confederate flags, reports AJC.

In 2022, the association selected Birmingham-basedWarner Museums, a firm whose projects include several civil rights-related exhibits and the Country Music Hall of Fame, to create an exhibit in the park’s Memorial Hall presenting a more balanced view of the war and the history behind the carving.

A lawsuit by the Sons of Conferate Veterans is challenging this revision of history.

The plaintiffs — Sons of Confederate Veterans members Philip Autrey and John Murlin; Timothy Pilgrim, Georgia Division commander of the organization; and Barbara Smith of Camden County — contend the planned exhibits do not honor the Confederacy but rather “assault its memory” and that some sections have no connection to the Confederacy.

Autrey said the association should never have approved the exhibit.

“Warner’s proposed actions are clearly outside of the legislative mandate and legal responsibilities of the State of Georgia acting through the Stone Mountain Memorial Association,” the lawsuit states.

“What they’re attempting to do here is to redo the entire purpose of the park and actually spend their time trashing the Confederacy rather than memorializing it,” said Martin O’Toole, spokesperson for the state division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

It is worth pointing out that 99+% of Confederate soldiers did not own slaves. They were simply fighting for their homes, their families, their land, their agrarian way of life.

Students of history understand the war was really about economics and local control. However, it goes without saying that slavery was a serious moral issue that needed to be ended. There was no excuse for it. The practice likely would have been abolished in time in the South.

In reality, the North fought for money, control and power, not slavery. That was an excuse.

My ancestors fought in the war from Mississippi and were not slave owners. The other side of my family fought for the Union from Pennsylvania.

Their memory should be honored, not trashed. Their heroism was commendable and should be remembered.

Stone Mountain as it exists today does that.

It should not be changed.
