I think the people crying heritage are also talking about the entire period of slave driven agriculture and industry, which the confederacy was formed to defend and came to symbolize.
Not trying to be a spoiler or anything but I hate to see badly-formulated attacks on these people which they will easily bat aside.
Their “it was about states rights” bs also kinda deflates pretty quickly when it was about the state’s rights…for slavery. As in, it’s specifically, clearly outright stated in some of their Articles of Succession.
Yes it’s worse. All I’m sayings not to try to catch them on a technicality. “The confederacy only lasted 5 years!”
The Trail of Tears was shorter than that but no one would ever trivialize it as a part of someone’s heritage. The Civil War was the deadliest one in history for Americans. A lot of impact can happen in a short time.

True, but making them say “the heritage I’m talking about is racism” is the kind of the unmasking this gotcha was going for anyway.

You can throw as many facts as you want, but “these people” don’t care about truth or justice. They just want their white supremacy back at any cost.
