Reply #5: I lived in Mississippi for over 50 years and here is what I know [View All]

during the flag debate there I found this http://sunsite.utk.edu/civil-war/reasons.html#Mississippi which clearly shows the level of slavery in that decision. I also joined briefly the Sons of Confederate Veterans and left it because it was too political in nature and failed to be honest. During the flag debate for Mississippi when I posted the above, I got death threats, and even had a sniper outside my door that my dog was able to run off. I told people that Mississippi shouldn't be so proud of it's Confederate Heritage because what Mississippi was so concerned about at that time was keeping their slaves. Boy did that make me unpopular.
