A Juneteenth reminder of Trump’s love for the slavery-defending Confederacy
SHARE

Juneteenth, the day commemorating the top of slavery in the USA, turned a federal vacation in 2021 underneath then-President Joe Biden. Earlier than that, the vacation was informally celebrated across the nation as a strategy to have fun liberation from what is usually known as America’s “original sin.”

However the present occupant of the White Home has a monitor report of expressing sympathy and solidarity not with the pro-American Union forces who received the conflict. As an alternative, Donald Trump has aligned himself with the Confederacy which fought to retain human bondage.


Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump works the gang after a rally on the Macon Centreplex Coliseum whereas a member of the gang holds up the previous flag of the state on Nov. 30, 2015, in Macon, Georgia.

Biden renamed a number of army bases that have been named after Accomplice leaders, a change lengthy requested by civil rights activists. Trump undid that activity and reverted the names of a number of bases to their pro-Accomplice standing.

As an illustration, Trump modified Fort Gregg-Adams—named in honor of two Black veterans who served with distinction—again to Fort Lee. Robert E. Lee was the general commander of the Accomplice Military and spent the years 1861 to 1865 combating for southern states to protect the fitting to personal Black folks.

Trump and Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth have stated that the restored names don’t honor the Confederacy and declare the brand new names coincidentally honor veterans with the identical final title as Accomplice “heroes.’ Based mostly on each males’s hostility to civil rights and their historical past of racism, the excuse just isn’t credible.

Trump has even attacked President Abraham Lincoln, probably the most revered figures in American and world historical past, and criticized his actions earlier than the Civil Battle.

“See, there was something I think could have been negotiated, to be honest with you. I think you could have negotiated that,” Trump stated final January.

To “negotiate” with the southern states would have meant agreeing that they might protect slavery.

And Trump is way from alone in whitewashing the confederacy.

In a latest look on Theo Von’s podcast, Vice President JD Vance complained about latest campaigns to lastly confront the legacy of the Civil Battle.

“I feel like something happened like 10 years ago where every – – it’s like you have to think that every single person that, who fought for the Confederate side was an evil person. I just think that’s so stupid,” Vance stated.

Let’s not neglect that your complete level of the Confederacy was to defend slavery, notably the fitting to personal Black folks as property.

In a 2015 column for the Nationwide Structure Middle, Paul Finkelman, a senior fellow on the College of Pennsylvania, examined the paperwork and speeches made by Accomplice leaders on the time the South seceded from the USA.

“These speeches and documents show that the South seceded to protect slavery and insure white supremacy in the South,” he concluded.

Trump has spent his second time period making an attempt to undo civil rights gained after the top of the Civil Battle and the abolishment of slavery. He has signed government orders and pushed federal guidelines modifications meant to undermine the fitting to equality for tens of millions of Individuals. When he isn’t doing that, his administration has been brazenly purging references to achievements by notable Individuals, notably members of the Black group.

Trump turned a political determine by pushing racist conspiracies about Barack Obama, the nation’s first Black president. He and his fellow Republicans have made it clear that the historical past and traditions they wish to protect are on the pro-racism, pro-slavery, dropping aspect of the Civil Battle.
