This does not sound good.

Amen to Bert's last comment. I am proud to be from Georgia. Never wanted to live anywhere else! (Or even visit, for very long.)

Time to bone up on your history, Bert. Ringgoldone is right on this one. The hostility between the states over the issue of slavery began years before the war. As each new territory became a state, there was a huge brouhaha over whether it would be a "slave state" or a "free state." Of course most of this was economic. (Most all wars are economic, when you get right down to it.) But there was a moral element as well. The abolitionist movement was growing. Ever heard of the Missouri Compromise? That happened decades before the Civil War. How about the Underground Railroad? The Fugitive Slave Act? Uncle Tom's Cabin?

Bert, the apology has been requested from the state, not from every or any white man. Southerners (white and black) fought on both sides. I was just reading about a family in which the father and two sons fought for the Union, while a third son fought for the Confederacy. That's how divisive the war was, and still is. I don't see anyone here condemning Confederate veterans or their sacrifices. I believe we should honor those who fought on both sides. In many ways it was the Civil War that put our new country to the test, like a pot being fired in a kiln. Courage and honor and valor were not lacking on either side. We don't take anything away from those veterans by saying that slavery was a moral wrong.
In Catoosa: Former Georgia Flag flying again over I-75

The flag is an embarassment. Do they have the right to fly it on private property? Yes, they do, and I would stand up to defend that right. But just because you CAN do something does not mean you SHOULD.
Catoosa denies large residential/commercial development

If we don't want growth, what DO we want? Shrinkage? Slumville? Ghost town?

Construction is the strongest industry Catoosa has. Shutting it down is foolhardy.
