ah, and this was originally just a small family cemetery. bell railroad tracks are in the same place. those are and they ran from meridian to jackson and owned vicksburg. soldiers died on the train right up here. they didn't even know the names of the soldiers. these are some of the files ins who fall and died and their families never heard from them. again. didn't know where they were buried. what happened to them, this one right here, it says, 6 brave soldier sleep here. that's kind of ha, feel about it. they were brave,
3:31 am
they were honorable, they didn't fight to preserve slavery. they fall because their home is invaded. because there, where should i ask them to? and it was honorable thing to do in with how can you say that when that caused that you say that they thought so nobody 4 was girded up by slavery. you know, the whole reason for mississippi getting into the civil war, they say very plainly,
3:32 am
it's about preserving slavering. this is it goes back almost to our founding in this country that the belief that america is a white man. and anybody else who comes to has to back down to the web as rules. so it's about white supremacy. is about power and control. it's about maintaining the status quo. and any kind of change occurs in this country where those progress made towards diversity is responded to as it is a threat to the white man. if we're going to change this flag and then some brave white men gonna have to stand up and step up. and it's got to happen in the midst of the legislature last legislative session. there were 19 bills related to the flag this session
3:33 am
there 22. all of those bills related to change or a means by which we could change the flag has been introduced by african american legislators. they bill for in support of the current state flag have all been introduced by white male, conservative legislators in 2001. the people in mississippi voted on a flag and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the current flag. i don't think we as elected representatives have the right to overturn their decision. now, whether you like it or not, we can argue about that. but the decision was made by the people of mississippi to keep the current flag. so do you have a personal feeling about the flag? i personally believe that we should keep the flag. i think that the narrative that any emblem or anything there that harkens back to the civil war is somehow racist
3:34 am
or in support of slavery is just wrong. what we have to do is spend the time to educate every one of what the real history in the belief that the flag issue will be settled when we all understand. the real history of the civil war is attractive, but which part of the history confederate heritage supporters argued that the civil war was not fought to free the slaves because abraham lincoln himself said, so. it is original inaugural address. he said, if i could preserve the union free and all the slaves, i did that i can reserve the union, but free some slice that i can preserve the union. but free dumpsite did that. he was a team and though lincoln was morally opposed to slavery,
3:35 am
he held common racist beliefs. and then there's the core one amendment a whole and then it was proposed to actually legalize. and i tried to propose it to the southern people to get them to not to join, get back in the union, but they denied it. they didn't want to have any part of it. all, had it been about was library. then the core and amendment would fix that because it stated that the south to perpetuate key is peculiar institution which referred as labor if they would not succeed from the union. the core one amendment passed both houses of congress in 1861 lincoln, in his 1st inaugural address, said he would not interfere with it. and the corps would amendment been adopted before the civil war began. it would have provided a constitutional protection for slavery in the united states. and it would have
3:36 am
been the 13th amendment but mississippi made it clear that they seceded to protect slavery, in part because they believed that black people were better suited to work in the oppressive heat, require for picking cotton. and some white mississippians feared that emancipation wouldn't just mean economic ruin. it would lead to something they fear, even more racial equality. this was made clear when a commissioner name william l harris was sent to georgia to persuade them to join mississippi in seceding from the union and form a southern confederacy of slave holding states an address to the georgia general assembly. he said, our fathers made this a government for the white man projecting as an ignorant, inferior barbarian race, incapable of self government. he concluded his speech, saying, mississippi would rather see the last of her race. men,
3:37 am
women and children immolate in one common funeral pyre, can see them subjugated to the degradation of civil political and social equality with a race. georgia joined the confederacy. 3 months later, when our previous president was there was nothing but a big hey. and it seemed like there was more of a, a war of rice war more speak on the why was really what it was. this isn't a racial, they, not, my enemies will play for anything racial at all. we were out here where stand for southern prize that a wife knows it heavily with his friends with judge roll up. i believe that will, they will be able to come and sit down and everybody finally uses rested because it's like, don't stay in horizon was just our heritage was set on
