    Confederate Flag Debate Holds Up Congress Even almost a month later, the removal of a Confederate battle flag from outside a South Carolina Statehouse seems to still be causing trouble in the American Government. After two weeks of arguments between both House parties, the House Republicans finally called for a solution between the two opposing sides, unexpectedly freezing most productivity in the House, yet it still seems that nothing has been resolved.

  • Confederate's Role In The Civil War

    500 Words  | 2 Pages

    Out of all the “Lost Cause” films covered in Jones’ article, The General appears to be the tamest. It doesn’t seem to glorify the Confederacy and besmirch the Union, unlike films such as Birth of a Nation, mainly because it wasn’t focused on either side. The focus of the film was on Johnnie (the protagonist) and his quest to reclaim his train and rescue Annabelle (the love interest). He happens to be a Confederate civilian, but the film never shows him actively supporting Confederate ideals, such as slavery. In addition, he doesn’t try to enlist in the army until Annabelle asks him if he’s going to or not, suggesting that he’s primarily enlisting to please her, rather than to join the cause.
