My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Closed Due to Confederadication
Sadly, I am going to have to close this blog down to devote efforts to my Civil War II: The Continuing War on the Confederacy blog. As some time in the future, when the current move to eradicate any and all things Confederate from the United States ends or slows down, I will start this one up first. But right now, just way too many things are happening to Confederate monuments and all things Confederate and I am trying to keep up with it.
On average, I come across 20-30 headlines from the media about what is happening and with eight blogs, I don't have enough time to devote to the topic. I have already closed down two other blogs.
I am calling this move by certain groups and politicians Confederadication. The name just came to me as I was typing a story. It combines the words Confederate and eradication. They are trying, and accomplishing, the elimination of all things Confederate.
I had been looking for a term for this statue/flag mess and had been using Confederate Haters, but that just didn't have the right ring to it. I just dropped the "te" at the end of Confederate and added "dication" and there was the word.
So, Until Some Future Date, Good Reading.
