Johnny Reb, then and now

 Click to enlarge the images, or open the image in a new tab and enlarge.  I hope you can read the text.  It tells so much about what a thoughtful, understanding, magnanimous  people we once were.  We honored our fallen foes and allowed them dignity in defeat.  We tore down no statues. 

Why did that change?  What advantage has accrued to us by changing?  Did we voluntarily change, or were we manipulated or forced into changing?  Or have we not changed but are simply no longer in control of our own country?  If we are not, who is?

Published in January, 1960.
