It wasn't actually that long ago! Baby Boomer here! My father grew up in Baltimore . Baltimore was a very Southern city during the Civil War years! Dad remembered walking past the Confederate Home for Soldiers as a boy in the 1930/40's! The last Civil War soldier died in the early 1950's!

Yes, he taught it well, but unfortunately he didn't live it! Love your neighbor as yourself! Or perhaps Matthew 5, the Beatitudes. I Corinthians 13 1. "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing."

But the new names are way better though. Hicks got no taste, just cope.
It made some people happy to change it, leave it alone, focus on more important things other than changing it back pissing people off. Leave it as it is.
If things are removed because someone doesn't like it in time all knowledge of it will be lost and once something is lost it can be repeated do you think if the name of Martin Luther King was removed from everything who would know what he did 100 years from now

I'm thinking that it is low key brilliant. It does nothing functionally and the people who might be inclined to steer clear of the state due to this are the same kind of trivial minded people that you don't want in the first place. It's kind of like when the NAACP declared Florida a no travel zone. Although it really didn't fool anyone (Not even the chairman of the NAACP, who owned and still owns a house in Florida.) However the handful of people who believed and acted on it are not the sorts of people that are going to contribute much to the state or society in general.

You should know that Memphis had a contract with China to sell their cotton it was much more money than the federal government had ever had. The federal government wanted to tax some of this cotton going overseas and the South said no. So the war was just as much about taxation because the South refused to give any of the money to the federal government. The federal government didn't want to sit around and watch the South make 100 times more money than they would ever make

You’re sharing white supremacy disinformation. 1860 federal taxes were primarily based on IMPORT TARIFFS. The total tax generation for all northern ports, including New York, was $48.3 million. New York City collected $34.9 million in tariff revenues. The entire South generated only $4.0 million in tariff revenues, with New Orleans being the southern port that collected the most, at $3.1 million. New Orleans was captured without resistance by the Union in 1862.
