From: To: Subject: Date: Webmaster "Children of the Confederacy Creed" Plaque Thursday, January 31, 2019 2:42:10 PM Sirs: I am very glad to hear that the "Children of the Confederacy Creed" plaque will, at last, be removed from our Capitol Building in Austin. However, please do not return it to the United Daughters of the Confederacy. They gifted the State of Texas with this loathsome plaque 60 years ago and it should remain in the state's possession. I believe this plaque should be placed in an appropriate museum and used as a learning tool to demonstrate the kinds of lies promulgated by groups such as the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Thank you very much for your consideration.

It was money. Taxes and tariffs!. If people such as yourselves would take time to read ACTUAL historical accounts and not jump on the liberal PC wagon, maybe things would be better. Yes, slavery may have been listed on secession papers but it was a form of states rights. With that being said.. southern states had already started freeing slaves to abolish slavery. Slavery had to phased out or you would have what actually happened. On the 1860 census ( pre war ) the south already had more freed men if color than the north. Even Their President Lincoln said the war wasnt over slavery.

Sincerely, Matthew Comer From: To: Subject: Date: Webmaster The Plaque Thursday, January 31, 2019 3:34:59 PM I submit that the confederate plaque should be taken and turned into dust.
