Becky Muska - Excerpt of letter from HK Edgerton, as usual, he hits the nail on the head with the truth….well said! “…..Northern businessmen were afraid that the tariffs imposed on the South might be lowered, the national debt repudiated, and federal policy again controlled by the agrarian South. Thus the North, in spite of having won the war, would be deprived of all their declared benefits of victory. But continued Republican dominance could be ensured if the franchise was given to the Negroes. There was a Negro majority in a number of Southern States; and the Negroes, it was assumed, would give their votes and loyalty to the party and region of the country that had supposedly emancipated them. And so began the duping of the Southern Blacks under the leadership of Thaddeus Stevens as he formulated a Radical Program of reconstruction along with his 15-member Joint Committee on Reconstruction designed to exact vengeance on the South……. The desecration of the Memorial at Washington and Lee is no less a declaration of War against the South than was Lincolns illegal attack upon Ft. Sumter. And to use unknowledgeable college youth with the aid of those who are there to protect the legacy and Memorial to General Lee and his men is tantamount to the acts of Judas, Benedict Arnold and MiMi Elrod . Kenneth Ruscio should be immediately dismissed and the Board of Trustees investigated under the premise of their dismissal as well. I, like the many loyal Blacks of the South, want no part in the credit of this traitorous act that is meant to further separate us from our Christian Southern White family. God bless you! Your brother, HK
