Confederate Monuments and the Totalitarian Agenda: Silent Sam and Inconvenient History

February 5, 2020fbpowellNC History, News

by Dr. Boyd D. Cathey All across the Southland today efforts have been mounted by “woke” social justice warriors — in most cases spearheaded by violent and destructive mobs composed of radicalized Millennials — to tear down or at least remove all monuments to Confederate veterans. But removing monuments to those who fought and died…

Response to N & O guest opinion piece by Gene Nichol

February 1, 2020fbpowellNC History, News

A recent guest opinion piece by Gene Nichol of the University of North Carolina Law School about ‘Silent Sam’ makes accusations—and infers others—against the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV). These declarations are malign and wrong. The SCV is a not-for-profit group which works to preserve the history and respect the memory of soldiers who fought and sacrificed…

The Leftist Long March, “Silent Sam,” and the REAL Question

April 2, 2019fbpowellNC History, News

By Dr. Boyd Cathey Most every Thursday I gather with a group of friends for lunch at some restaurant in Raleigh. Among the group are three PhDs in history, and one who holds two masters degrees in history. All of us are former employees of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources (now Natural and…

Monuments and memorials teach succeeding generations

May 9, 2018fbpowellNC History

By Garland S. Tucker III Much of the past year has been consumed by a raging debate over monuments — especially Confederate monuments. In the wake of the Charlottesville protests, cities and states throughout the South and beyond have been re-evaluating the meaning of historical statues. Much of this debate has been healthy and thought-provoking….

Attacking Confederate monuments echoes the prejudice it condemns

May 9, 2018fbpowellNC History

By Edwin M. Yoder Jr. On a recent evening I squandered half an hour on a public television program about Confederate statues in New Orleans. It was a gross waste of time. It began and ended with the usual incivilities in which zealous advocates shouted at one another with little or no informed reference to…

Don’t cherry pick history: Confederate monuments must stand

September 15, 2017fbpowellNC History, News

By R. Kevin Stone Gov. Roy Cooper has called upon the N.C. Historical Commission to meet and approve the removal of three Confederate monuments from the grounds of the State Capitol in Raleigh. The N.C. Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, is wholly opposed to the removal or relocation of any and all monuments and memorials…

Ashamed to have Roy Cooper as governor

August 29, 2017fbpowellNC History, News

By Chris Roberts Today I read the comments of Roy Cooper and it is the most heartbreaking and despicable comment ever to be uttered by a governor of North Carolina. Your call for the removal of monuments to the Confederate soldiers from North Carolina is beyond belief. These are NOT monuments to those as you…

June 30, 2017fbpowellNC History, News

By Dr. Boyd D. Cathey Over the past three months I have, on several occasions [April 9, 24, 25; May 23, 24, 29], examined the relationship between the vigorous, no-holds-barred current attacks on the symbols, monuments, and flags of the Confederacy, and the ongoing assault by the Left—from the frenzied minions and advance “Red Guard”…

Robert E. Lee, Revolution, and the Question of Historical Memory

June 19, 2017fbpowellNC History, News

By Boyd Cathey Two weeks ago New Orleans removed its Robert E. Lee Monument, one of four the city decided to take down. As well, Charlottesville, Virginia, currently finds itself in the midst of a rancorous debate over its Lee statue. All over the South and the nation moves are afoot to take down monuments,…

Taking Down Our Monuments is An Effort to Pervert Our History

May 1, 2017fbpowellNC History, News

Early this morning the local television station WRAL broadcast news that the first of “four Confederate monuments in New Orleans…honoring white supremacy” will come down today. The fate of these monuments has been debated now for a number of years, with the majority black city government wanting to expunge these reminders of New Orleans’ history,…
