The Republican governor of Virginia, Claghorn Leghorn, today amended his declaration of Confederacy Month to add in the recognition that slavery was very, very wrong.
"Wrong, I tells ya! Jes wrong!"
Can't figure out how it got overlooked, heh-heh.
TPM commenter DaveJ proposes his state do something similar:
WHEREAS the institution of slavery is an abomination upon the face of the earth, and
WHEREAS the southern American states seemed disinclined to end said practice, and
WHEREAS the aforementioned southern American states were in fact acting in a belligerent manner to secede from the Union, and
WHEREAS they continued to act in such a manner as to provoke an armed response,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the citizens of Massachusetts commend their ancestors for crushing the rebellious spirit of the southern states, and commend them for restoring order to the Union, and commend them for defeating the South in battle, and commend them for ending the institution of slavery, and also for defeating the South, and finally did we mention that we defeated the South? Like, really, really defeated them. Crushed them, in fact. Wasn't even close. I mean, for a bit there it was kind of tight. Be we really throttled them once we got going.
