I could see iconography like the Rebel Jack signifying the vast majority of the South's history, but what would you say about honoring the government/military figures that are associated with the sovereign Confederacy, since they were in action for only four years?

Then again I find it puzzling that hardly anybody in the South regarded by the post's logic until the Civil Rights era, much less in the past decade.

So was Abraham Lincoln?

I have no idea what this means.

Agreed.

Essentially, that anyone who would be pro-Confederate heritage would have changed their mind after the Civil War was over, and therefore been rational according to the Facebook post.
