Confederate Veterans graves ceremony.

On September 12th, me and my friend decided to decorate and honor the Confederate Veterans buried in our local cemetery in Medina Texas. We did this both to honor the veterans, our heritage, and the Confederacy.... but we also did it to portest against "Burn a Confederate Flag Day".

insults.

@ProgressiveInAmerica Lincoln increased the rate to a level that exceeded even the "Tariff of Abominations" 40% rate that had so infuriated the South during the 1828-1832 era ( between 50 and 51% on iron goods). The election of a president that was Anti-Southern on all issues and politically associated with the New England industrialists, fanatics, and zealots brought about the Southern secession movement.

@ProgressiveInAmerica John Randolph of Virginia's remarks in opposition to the tariff of 1820 demonstrates that fact. The North claimed that they fought the war to preserve the Union but the New England Industrialists who were in control of the North were actually supporting preservation of the Union to maintain and increase revenue from the tariff.

@ProgressiveInAmerica Prior to the war about 75% of the money to operate the Federal Government was derived from the Southern States via an unfair sectional tariff on imported goods and 50% of the total 75% was from just 4 Southern states--Virginia-North Carolina--South Carolina and Georgia. Only 10%--20% of this tax money was being returned to the South. The Southern states were being treated as an agricultural colony of the North and bled dry.

@ProgressiveInAmerica By the late 1850s, the fear of Northern domination in national economic policy was

coming true.

[blackconfederate1]

@ProgressiveInAmerica In Congress, Southern Representatives and Senators were concerned that their interests would not be suitably addressed. As immigrants flocked to the Northern areas, swelling the ranks, Southerners were afraid the Northern states would increase their representation in the House of Representatives, blocking "Southern-friendly" legislation.

@ProgressiveInAmerica "Yankee industrialists." Incidents such as the Southern protests against the "Tariff of Abominations" in the 1820s and the Nullification Crisis of the 1830s demonstrated how deep a rift the tariff controversy was creating between North and South.
