I don’t strictly agree with changing names back, but it’s still conservative. What do y’all think?

      You meant to say slavers, right? The founding fathers were traitors to the crown, its not strictly a bad thing

        They were traitors. Do you think fighting against your country for the right to own slaves is more conservative than being a traitor for other reasons?

          They weren’t fighting their own country. Do you understand what secession is? The democrats left the Union and started a new country. Do you think California wanting to leave makes the state a traitor ?

        At least one founding father thought a little rebellion was a good thing. I’m not a fan of the confederacy. It was democrats doing what democrats do but if you can’t leave the union, then we are not a democracy as tha left claims.
