History is so very important because by forgetting who we were in the past makes it impossible to know who we are now. Let us not tear down the past, but rather let us use it to improve our future.
By knowing the history of an area, a country, an era, or even a small town like Wallace, we form our collective identity.
History is neither good nor is it bad, it just is.We cannot change it, whitewash it, paint over it, or ignore it. It just is. I am of the school of embracing the past. I am totally against the tearing down that is going on in our country. Yes, Nancy, there were brave men that fought for the South, and there were brave men who fought for the Union.Don't tear the past down, study it, learn from it. and improve the future by knowing the past
Let us not have another Civil War because of the Civil War. That is a double negative, and that is simply against the rules.
