1. Why would anyone want to celebrate the "War of Southern Treason"

Why would they wish to claim TREASON as their Heritage? And for an entire month no less.

4. Because to some, the "War of Southern Treason"

is still known as the "War of Northern Aggression".

5. Yes I suppose we can agree there are idiots that do not understand history.

"War of Northern Agression" I mean come on.... really??? Really?

6. Is Vidor in Jefferson or Orange County?

It's close enough though.

But that town is more or less defanged (probably due to all the meth there) since for a while now.

Still, it is close enough to Jasper, heaven forbid.

7. "Hi, we're old white goobers and we want to celebrate our traitor ancestors."

In another generation, this bullshit will be mostly dead.
