Should statues and Military installations named after historical figures with ties to slavery and The Confederacy be removed or renamed?
We decided to do a podcast on this controversial topic!
We discuss many of the figures who have had statues erected, why they were erected, why some want them removed and delve into the historical significance of the figure, both good and bad.
In regard to the Military Installations, you may be surprised how they came to be named the way they did! Take a listen and give us your feedback.

We have been building up to the Civil War for quite some time now. Sectionalism, lack of national unity and the issue of the extension of slavery into new territories are at an all time high. The events of the 1850s will make the Civil War all but inevitable.
We cover the short-lived presidency of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore, both members of the Whig Party.
We discuss the aftermath of the Mexican-American War and how these states were going to enter the union. Spoiler Alert...The Missouri Compromise won't work anymore!
Take a listen to see how tensions are rising and the inevitability of Civil War in the United States is becoming very clear.
